Aside from the game’s main story puzzle objectives, there are plenty of other side quests you can find by simply talking to other people and keeping a keen eye out for other points of interest. This takes me back to the good old days of Minesweeper.Īs far as gameplay, you’ll control Sam through the Academy and often interact with other students and teachers. It’s refreshing to play a game that’s often times actually as intelligent as it thinks it is. Many of the puzzles will try to trick you with their wording or your brain might naturally want to make things seem more complex than they really are.
Not only that, but they offer a fair amount of challenge and many of them will force you to think outside the box.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn almost immediately that the puzzles featured in this game are widely varied. Story aside, The Academy: The First Riddle is really all about its puzzles. Then near the end of the first chapter, you come to realize that the school has many dark secrets that are waiting to be discovered. However, occasionally something bizarre happens and you learn that there’s more going on than meets the eye. At first the story feels almost shoehorned in, like they were trying to come up with a reason for Sam to continue doing puzzles. You arrive, do some puzzles, meet your awkward or bullying classmates, do some puzzles, get a layout of the grounds, and do some puzzles. I will warn you that the pacing in The Academy: The First Riddle does start off pretty slow.
