The team has been with for more than three years Pathea have racked their brains to design puzzles with “the puzzle player” in mind. The story and art style are both attractive and good for grabbing the player’s attention, but the puzzles are everything. Always on brings style to the genre with a relaxing color palette of calming pastels and electric future tones designed to effectively simulate the absurd nature of false reality. Many elements of the art can confuse players what is what, to further express the ability of dreaming to be obscene.
However, if a puzzle cannot be solved, there are alternative ways to complete the game without completing the tasks 100%. In addition, some puzzles can be solved in different ways to suit different types of thinkers and logical processes.
Portal & gravity
The portal in Always on is a gateway between the two ambiguous levels of Mayan consciousness. Players can quickly solve puzzles or explore the vast open free world while manipulating the direction of gravity. A change in gravity can further challenge the player’s mind and understanding of proximity and spatial relationship.
