Description: An annoying math game



It is primarily a puzzle game in which you need to take a set of given numbers and use them to create an equation that provides the desired result. The game's sale page says that there are multiple endings, but from the wording, and from what I've played of the game, I get the feeling that these endings are decided by a single binary choice sometime at the end, and I don't know if that choice even gets to be made in a game that is titled "Chapter 1." The reason that I am speculating is because I didn't end up finishing this game.

Given the nature of the gameplay, I think my difficulties with execution was a serious problem. I'm sorry about that too, because from the previews I thought this might be a fun and slightly more challenging game. I can't recommend Tessa's Ark on the basis of the bugginess, mostly, but I feel like maybe if you really like math puzzles, and you are very confident in your calculating, you'll be able to work around them if you really, really want to.

It seems that someone else is doing a similar project to me, and reviewing all of the BLM Bundle games (rather than just the VNs) Their series is called Scratching that Itch and here is their review for this game. It also notes that a big hurdle is just remembering what color does what, so I feel somewhat vindicated in my frustration.
