Started and finished Shady Part of Me (on special for like $3.50AU). Gameplay-wise it's really good; difficulty curve is one of the smoothest I've experienced. No real roadblock puzzles where I had to resort to a guide, but enough that had me stumped long enough that the eventual "A-HA!" moment was really satisfying. Very well tutorialised, puzzle elements are introduced cleverly and get recombined with other, previous elements to make some fairly complex puzzles. Plot-wise, IDK. It feels like it's intentionally vague to give an impression of depth that players can project their own ideas onto. Whether that's a good or a bad thing, I'm not sure. Only took me about five hours to complete with about 75% of the collectibles, but there's no way I'm going back to 100% it. Probably wouldn't pay full price for it, but recommended while on sale.
