Lorelei and the Laser Eyes review: A notebook puzzler with spooky vibes

Simogo's Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a delight for anyone who loves puzzles, adventure games and survival horror.

Lorelei’s story is told with minimal exposition and no introduction — you play a mysterious woman who arrives at the Hotel Letztes Jahr with a letter in her purse and a mission even she doesn’t seem to understand. There’s a kind of Metroidvania feel to it, in the sense that you often won’t have the tools to solve each puzzle immediately, meaning you’ll have to backtrack once you find the relevant clues. As I said before, LatLE saves and catalogs all information you find, including random symbols, book pages or conversations, all neatly filed by category in your menu.
