It is, therefore, a shame that the technical side of things isn’t quite as strong as the aesthetic side.

#The pillar puzzle escape full
This much is obvious from the moment you start the game – you step out of a murky underground chamber to a bright and colourful environment, full of bold geometric structures and lush plant life, that will look very familiar to anyone who played the 2016 title. Look, there are no two ways around this – The Pillar is what I would politely call ‘heavily influenced’ by another first person puzzle game, Jonathan Blow’s contemplative line-tracer from 2016, The Witness. And then we have the curious case of The Pillar: Puzzle Escape, a first person puzzle game developed by Paper Bunker and published by eastasiasoft. However, as the technology used to deliver those games became more sophisticated and the game development talent pool grew ever larger, games became pastiches, rather than thinly veiled copies.
The likes of Space Invaders and Pac-Man, for example, spawned dozens of clones. 60!

Hint 2: The letter blocks come in three different colors/shapes. Hint 1: Note the letter blocks in the hidden room. Hint 4: Each row of the pillar spells a word.Īnswer: Top Row - SURF (click the button with the surfer) / Middle Row - HIVE (click the button with the beehive) / Bottom Row - TOWN (click the button with the buildings) Hint 3: The symbols on the blackboard are somewhere else in the room.
