This week, Pocket Gamer's App Army tackled the puzzle adventure A Fragile Mind from Glitch Games. The game, a twist on the classic escape room formula with added humor, received mixed reviews. While some lauded its challenging yet engaging puzzles and witty writing, others found its presentation lacking.

Here's a summary of their feedback:

Swapnil Jadhav

Initially skeptical due to the game's seemingly outdated logo, Jadhav found A Fragile Mind surprisingly unique and highly engaging. He praised the challenging yet rewarding puzzles, recommending tablet play for an optimal experience.

Max Williams

Williams described the game as a point-and-click adventure with static pre-rendered graphics. While appreciating the clever, albeit readily available, hint system and the game's fourth-wall-breaking humor, he noted some navigation issues, particularly in traversing interconnected rooms and corridors. Despite this minor criticism, he found the puzzles well-designed and the overall experience enjoyable.

Robert Maines

Maines found the first-person puzzle adventure challenging, requiring occasional walkthrough assistance. While acknowledging the graphics and sound were functional rather than exceptional, he recommended the game to puzzle adventure enthusiasts, acknowledging its relatively short playtime and limited replayability.

Torbjörn Kämblad

Kämblad, a fan of escape-room style games, found A Fragile Mind to be underwhelming. He criticized the muddy presentation, hindering puzzle clarity, and the poorly placed menu button, leading to accidental taps. The abundance of available puzzles from the outset contributed to a feeling of being lost, necessitating early use of the hint system.

Mark Abukoff

Abufkoff, typically not a fan of puzzle games due to their difficulty, found A Fragile Mind surprisingly enjoyable. He praised the aesthetic, atmosphere, intriguing puzzles, and the helpful hint system, recommending it despite its relatively short playtime.

Diane Close

Close described the game's premise and puzzle structure, highlighting its complexity and the need for meticulous note-taking. She commended the game's smooth performance on Android, extensive visual and audio options, and the inclusion of humor and puns.
