The Turing Test is a challenging first-person puzzle game set on Jupiter’s moon, Europa. You are Ava Turing, an engineer for the International Space Agency (ISA) sent to discover the cause behind the disappearance of the ground crew stationed there.
Additional context / comments
This is a very short puzzle game that contains moderately enjoyable puzzles that are ultimately no more difficult to solve than a crossword puzzle in a newspaper, and likely much easier on most days.
When released this was an over-hyped sham that the developers seem to have believed was going to be one of the "Great Works" like an Asimov story and has you asking a lot of deep philosophical questions by the end that it will ultimately refuse to answer and will instead sit there like a piece of modern art and demand that you find meaning in it, instead of it having a meaning to be found.
While I ultimately do not recommend playing it, I felt it should be listed for completeness' sake, as it was a fairly loud launch and you may have been attracted to it were you streaming at the time. If you do play it, wait for it to be under $6 to purchase. Expected play time: under 3 hours.
