At its core is a story exploration path free from puzzles where you can unfold the story at your own pace.\n\nThere is also a deeper, more adventurous path in which you can complete complex puzzles to restore life changing events of the patients history in order to help the validation of their life.\n\nThe choice is left to you. Welcome to Pinwheel.\n\nThe aim of the parallel paths was to make Ether One accessible to a range of skilled players. The hope was that people would be able to enjoy playing the game and solving puzzles with parents or friends, as well as immersed in the game on your own with the lights off. From a young age we enjoyed the first person puzzle games that required you to write cryptic notes on spare pieces of paper to unravel mysteries. Ether One aims to bring back pen and paper puzzle solving, whilst still being accessible and optional for people not wanting to get stuck and frustrated on the harder puzzles.","44208\u002Fether-one-cover.jpg","44208\u002Fether-one-header.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fyoutu.be\u002FtQT6DAhIgYw","2014-03-25",80.2,5639,"ether-one-be9f9aff-105e-448a-a37b-7863a0c0a683",265950,[19],{"company":20,"developed":22,"published":23},{"name":21},"White Paper Games",true,false,[25,26,27],"Puzzle","Adventure","Indie",[29,30],"PC (Microsoft Windows)","PlayStation 4",[32,48,64,79,94,109,123],{"id":33,"author":34,"outlet":37,"summary":43,"review_url":44,"review_date":45,"original_score":46,"normalized_score":47},32066,{"id":35,"name":36},3365,"PCGamer",{"id":38,"logo":39,"name":40,"website_url":41,"score_format":42},35,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FPCGamer-Logo.jpg","PC Gamer","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pcgamer.com\u002F","100","","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pcgamer.com\u002Fether-one-review\u002F","2014-04-07","82",82,{"id":49,"author":50,"outlet":53,"summary":59,"review_url":60,"review_date":61,"original_score":62,"normalized_score":63},63947,{"id":51,"name":52},3923,"Kim Snaith",{"id":54,"logo":55,"name":56,"website_url":57,"score_format":58},27,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGameSpew-Logo.jpg","GameSpew","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespew.com","10","For fans of the “point and click” game template, Ether One is surely not one to miss. The game may have some glaring issues – the inventory system is far from perfect, and the lack of a map to navigate labyrinthine areas can make the experience more frustrating than it should be – and the technical difficulties are hard to ignore, but whilst far from perfect, beyond the glitches and frustrations lies a deep and thought-provoking game, laden with rewarding and logical puzzles. The graphical imperfections can be forgiven thanks to the varied and sometimes beautiful environments, and the storyline offers much intrigue into a subject that has rarely been touched by games before. It may not be the most action-packed game you’ll play this year, but Ether One offers a memorable and rewarding experience.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gamespew.com\u002F2015\u002F05\u002Fether-one-ps4-review\u002F","2015-05-12","7\u002F10",70,{"id":65,"author":66,"outlet":69,"summary":74,"review_url":75,"review_date":76,"original_score":77,"normalized_score":78},68103,{"id":67,"name":68},1867,"Steven Hansen",{"id":70,"logo":71,"name":72,"website_url":73,"score_format":58},10,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FDestructoid-Logo.png","Destructoid","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.destructoid.com","Ether One nails its puzzles, atmosphere, and sound (ambient and voice acting).
