This narrative puzzle game will trick you with its sweet and cute artwork while it is very dark and eerie. At the beginning of the game, you wake up in a basement with a book in front of you and a voice echoing in your ears, ordering you to bring a specific thing. Starting by searching for a 'beauty,' you'll have access to most of the house's rooms and garden, and when you achieve your goal, you'll find yourself …

CLeM is an atmospheric and quietly unsettling puzzle-adventure that blends whimsy and dread into a single, stylized experience. The game begins with a jolt of mystery: you awaken in a dimly lit basement with no memory, guided only by a strange notebook and a soft, disembodied voice urging you to “bring beauty.” From this opening moment, CLeM establishes a tone that manages to be charming and eerie at once. Its …

CLeM is a beautiful adventure with lots of different puzzles and mysteries. You start knowing nothing, and simply fulfilling a request of an unknown entity. But with each solved puzzle you know a little more, and you can reach a little further.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the annoying things about people piling on Tillie Walden because someone lied about her is that she's already got a group of rude, abusive trolls because of her Clementine graphic novels - some of the Clem video game fans are fierce with hate for her version of that character.

neutral · AI labelView post →I don't want to do any spoiler, so I will just say this is a very very well crafted adventure. Part of the magic of CLeM is not knowing anything about it and discovering on your own while playing. I love this kind of games, so... full recommended!

neutral · AI labelView post →Clem was a great experience and a delight to play. As a fan of the previous games by the developers, I enjoyed the charming art style and the music as usual. This time though, the puzzles and story were the stars of the show with a great difficulty balance and variety. Plenty of weird WTF moment too! Disclaimer: I received this product for free from the dev team.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ignored the bad reviews because I trusted this publisher... should not have spent money on this. Very poor experience. There are so many better puzzle games out there that save your progress, have mouse support, and don't have the least intuitive pre-set keyboard controls ever (including-- this is my favorite-- I had to manually change it to WASD movement from WASF. F. I wish I was joking). Clunky puzzles and uninspired writing. Not ready to be released for money.

positive · AI labelView post →I didn't like it at all. The atmosphere was not what I expected,It's slow, weird (but not in a good way) and the puzzles were neither fun nor challenging at all but my fast disappointment can have influenced that in the long run. In my opinion it's overpriced for what it is.

neutral · AI labelView post →Cute game, where you play a "rag" doll solving puzzles for a mysterious child. Broken due to a weird timing problem in the chapter 3. I will try again someday but hint - when you are doing "intelligence" don't pickup the boot until after something is caught. Sorry downvote for either incompetence or intentional malevolence. Even something a rudimentary as "choose an act" would help. Not the first person to have this problem.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow, that was fun. A clever story that runs through all the rooms of a large house, as well as the outdoors, collecting insect specimens as offerings to a mysterious girl in a room. The backstory is interesting and gradually unfolds to a grand finale...where you decide the ending, either happy or sad. The puzzles are logical but increasingly difficult....I had to watch a walkthrough on the firefly chapter. I really enjoyed this and highly recommend.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a fun little creepy game. Unfortunately, it's so small that it tries by all means to be at least a little bit bigger: lots of backtracking, lots of unskippable cutscenes, bug-ball puzzles. Sadly, I can't recommend this game.

neutral · AI labelView post →Hmm, with the way Razz and Clems mouths are stylized I’m going to have to change up their modeling. Razz has a very narrow and tall mouth, and Clem has big wide smiles so her teeth will need to be much shallower to compensate. More in line to the in game mouths I guess

neutral · AI labelView post →Simple but detailed graphics, really cute tbh. From the start you can feel that there's an underlying sadness to the story, the game lets you uncover this in layers which helps draw you in. Overall great story, good game mechanics and cute graphics. One annoying bit though is how you can't skip the cut scenes in the end game. This is relevant if you didn't manage to achieve the 'Equivalent Exchange' achievement in the first go (or few goes!). Besides that, I enjoyed the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An adorable little puzzler, w/ mild (and repeatable, on fail) QTEs. Pros: * Good puzzles and slowly-unlockable world. * Simple but elegant control system, for what it does. Cons: * Short - ~4 hrs. Meh: * One minigame (used repeatedly) is a WASD-controlled QTE - if you fail, it restarts in a few seconds, ad nauseum. TL;DR: If you like puzzles and can overlook its brevity (or get it on sale), 9/10; else, avoid.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →CLeM is a tidy point and click. Played smoothly with no bugs and although you can't manually save, you can stop at anytime and the game picks up with all your progress intact. You do start again in the same spot always but that's just to get your notebook before you venture again to where you left off. The puzzles range in difficulty but for the most part are quite doable. There are Developers on hand to help nudge you over any rough spots you find. The game is relatively short and I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome! I was completely absorbed by the game, it's such a beautiful and enjoyable experience, the art, the narrative, the sound, the music... the puzzles were so good, along with some "ambient" details I almost missed while playing it, look at the doors and windows... all of it shows the love from the makers to this game, thanks for it. In short, play it! Also, I'd liked the FMA and other references ♡(ŐωŐ人)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a full-on Mango Protocol fan, this one just did not click with me. Far removed from the highly satisfying fun factor that was Mecha Nika, Agatha Knife, and Colossus Down. Cryptic puzzles repeated over and over in the same settings with different variations. Puts me to sleep every time I play this.

Each section gives you something new and I really liked that. The story itself turned a bit sad but it was ultimately a story of love and redemption. Learning to forgive and to learn to love with loss to free your heart. That really nice, even if it was a bit creepy how you get there. We each have our own path in life, no?! I liked the game, not too long, easy to stop and come back…
