## About Gorogoa

Gorogoa is a puzzle game developed by Buried Signal and published by Annapurna Interactive in 2017. Players manipulate illustrated panels by layering, zooming, and rearranging them to solve perspective-based puzzles and uncover hidden clues, with non-linear progression through the experience. Players describe the hand-drawn art as feeling like a living pop-up book, and reviewers highlight that hidden details reward careful exploration. Players describe the overall mood as atmospheric, contemplative, and hypnotic, and they note that perspective-based challenges feel fresh. The wordless narrative unfolds entirely through the artwork. Gorogoa costs $14.99 USD, is verified on Steam Deck, and holds a 96% positive rating from over 5,300 Steam reviews. The game is solo-only, short in length, and presents a challenging sit-down puzzle experience.
