I blame Kairo for inciting my over-thinking attitude, because with every step forward I took in the game, and every new room I entered, my curiosity grew deeper and deeper, trying to grasp the evocative environment I was so suddenly thrown into. But first, I had to figure out a few puzzles.
Indie Developer Locked Door Puzzle are planning to bring two of their titles to PlayStation Vita. The three-person studio is currently in talks with Sony to create Vita versions of the atmospheric Kairo, and the upcoming Journal.

For some, Myst wasn’t engrossing so much as dull and frustrating. Unfortunately, a great swath of the remainder of the gaming community apparently had their hearts and minds not so much touched as squeezed with extreme force by Myst until more games of its ilk issued forth in a great deluge. One such game is recent first-person indie adventure Kairo.
