Underground Blossom Lite is a short but sweet, visually aesthetic point-and-click puzzle game that explores Laura Vanderboom's early childhood.
In this game, I had to solve a bunch of simple puzzles and make my way through different train stations. Unfortunately though, Underground Blossom Lite is a demo version of the actual game coming out in the future, so I didn’t get to enjoy the title as much as I would’ve. That said, with the bite-size experience it provided, I still had a decent amount of fun.
The puzzles themselves are actually relatively easy; it’s more of finding an object to unlock another clue and repeating that action over and over. Although this does feel repetitive over time, the puzzles do grow increasingly harder to figure out, so at least there are some challenges along the way.
There is a story, but it’s only very lightly touched on throughout Underground Blossom Lite. From what I’ve understood, Laura is the daughter of a mysterious woman or a cultist, and it’s up to me to protect her from anyone that may wish her harm. The story comes through in short dialogue and is mostly ambiguous than anything else. Although it does seem slightly interesting, there wasn’t enough of it to hook me in which was a little disappointing.
Beyond the puzzles and the story, Underground Blossom Lite offers up around fifteen to twenty minutes of gameplay if you’re used to puzzle games like me, but don’t be surprised if it might take longer since it does get a little challenging sometimes. The game itself looks great and performs completely fine in its demo version. I enjoyed playing Underground Blossom Lite and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quick and easy puzzle game or something casual to pass the time.
