INNOVATIVE PUZZLES THAT ARE THE STORY
Each level sparks a little memory of the person’s life. It’s a two-part puzzle: a visual image of the memory and a telescopic text, that reveals itself with every step. You start with fragmented pieces of the picture and have to move them to restore the original image. In turn, telescopic text reacts to your every step – the closer you are to the solution, the more text unfolds. You are indeed remembering – adding details to the memory and forming a clear picture.
A DEEP AND MYSTERIOUS STORY
G30 is about memory and consciousness – and what they mean for a human being. There are people around who are losing their ability to remember – some kinds of mental diseases do that to a person. G30 shows how they see the world, how they feel about the past they can’t remember and the reality they can’t recognize.

I really don't understand this game. The graphics are beautiful, but the game doesn't come with any instructions. After playing for 15 minutes, I've already finished all the levels and can't move forward. Totally useless

ok, but it felt a little obscure, and the puzzles felt hard to grok, like there's stuff happening behind the scenes that's tough to see. it's like you're trying to feel what the machine is doing behind the scenes through trial and error and there's no aha moment. you just eventually get it right.

I love it that it's simple,and makes me think! However, I am currently stuck at the brain,I can't click on it. When I do,I see fate dots leading to Key but I can't click on that either because it just lops back to the Lock. I'd appreciate some help! I'd love to keep playing!

🩵💛❤️💚 I absolutely adore this game. It is simple, elegant and beautiful. The music is meditative and the overall experience is very relaxing. The puzzle solutions are poetic and profound. Ivan Kovalov is definitely plugged into the universe. The full version is well worth paying for to support this talented developer and this type of quality content. Also, there are no additional in-app purchases. More developers should follow this business model. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Absolutely incredible and unique!! Seriously loving this game. The first few puzzles are easy to get into but the more you get into the levels.. the more intricate they get. Currently stuck on 1 level but I'll get it. The story is really thought provoking. Fully recommended!!

A unique and intriguing puzzle game. At first the story was just some background information to me, but I slowly found myself more invested in it. The ending really hit me in the emotions. This game is a wonderful reminder, and a one-of-a-kind puzzle experience!

You simply have to try every piece in every location to find which location produces a different effect. Pure unavoidable grind, no way to predict or strategise, a pleasureless chore. Several errors in the English text. Demands that sound be on for no reason. I can't name a single redeeming quality, neither the sound nor graphics nor story elevate it. I would not recommend to anyone.

I didn't enjoy the puzzle side of the game that much - really minimalistic as stated in the description, starts very easy and ends somehow chaotically (or too hard for me) although there is always some system. However the way how the story is told was definitely worth the price - at least with the discount active when I bought it.

A wonderful game that is the right balance of challenging and engaging. I not only enjoyed playing through the story, but also the importance of the topic behind the development. Very much worth the download!

The puzzles are hard, but logical, a combination that is increasingly hard to find. In between the puzzles, the game tells a bone-chilling story that has left me with goosebumps. To top it off, I personally love the art style of the game, so there's full ratings from my side.

Game's a bit similar to Perfect Angle in the topic, but different plot - not a recollection of memories, but a story of after they are lost. It will make you chase false assumptions and theories, follow the path to somewhere and then... circle back to the beginning. I'll keep this little puzzle game and wait for some more. If there won't be any - no problem. Thanks for a unique experience.

Though the game could be fun it was mostly frustrating trying to figure out whatbrhe gwme defined as a specific item. Some puzzles have you making a hat or a key but only a very soecific type of hat or key will do. so many times I was lost because I made what looked to me like a hat, but not the hat the game wanted to see apparently. Additionally the game tells you you should play it with headphones, but it sounds to be just one same ambient track the whole time. Kinda boring and frustrating.

A very challenging game with interesting twist of not only solving the puzzles but also locating the words in the message. The telephone level was very tricky and no intuitive way to find the answer without help. Good game overall with message about debilitating disease

My, my, my. What an absolutely encaptivating experience, I didn't understand what I was getting into until the second chapter or so, then I saw the stories being strung together, and they struck me. I can already see the rising potential for this game, and the hidden meanings behind it. So much more to the game than may ever meet the eye.

G30 was a fantastic experience. It's puzzles are very unique, requiring you to generate a picture from a series of spinning and interlocked smaller pieces, and it can be quite fiendish by the end. At the same time, your exploration of the puzzles generates a surprisingly dynamic narrative that quickly veers from unsettling and oddly paranoid to making altogether too much sense. If you're a fan of puzzles, G30 is a great choice.

Hands down the best game ever and definitely worth every cent. I like the fact that the puzzles are challenging and never repetitive, and that each move you make has the potential to uncover a new bit of the story. Alzheimer's is a tragic disease, for both the patient and their families, and G30 gives you a sense of that feeling of loss and scared confusion that someone diagnosed with Alzheimer's might feel. This is definitely a game you can play again and again without ever getting tired of.

Thank you so much for the response! I was able to complete the level. Rating updated. Old review: The first few chapters were a relatively low stress puzzle game with an interesting story framework. However, I'm stuck on the fountain level. This may be due to a bug, as the version I have does not match the play through I found on youtube. The red ring is not visible/active when the yellow ring is in the top and bottom positions. I'm using Android 10 on a Pixel 4a, August 2020.

Very responsive developer, I was surprised with the almost immediate reply. Looking for to a fix for the audio bug! Thanks for the clarification about the narrative twist as well! Original review: Enjoying the game so far but encountered a weird sound bug. If the game is not in the foreground constantly or the screen turns off at all, when returning to the game all audio disappeared! No music, no sound at all. Didn't come back until game was closed and reopened. Works fine with all other apps?

I enjoyed this game. Very difficult sometimes, but a mental challenge is good for the brain. Sometimes I solved by luck and a couple of times I looked at 3rd party walk through videos to at least see what the final product looked like. At the very end while reading through the entire story I was left speechless. What a great game!!

a great puzzle with a fasinating story. i love how the puzzle get more and more advanced, the expert mode only helping in that (very hard in the hidden chapter). i beat the whole game, and the story is a heart-squeeze. my only wish is if i can save my game with an account like google or facebook, so i dont have to re-complete the game if i download it on another phone. This game over all, is very high quality and i wish to see more works from you! ;)
