About Puzzle Vault
Puzzle Vault is a single-player indie puzzle adventure from Green Goose Corporation, released September 24, 2025. It’s a brain-teasing challenge where you solve time-sensitive levels by navigating mazes, collecting scattered items, uncovering hidden clues, and manipulating objects to match color schemes. The game leans into quick thinking and precision, with levels that escalate in complexity. Designed for PC players, it’s a no-frills test of logic and reflexes. Think of it as a digital escape room that never stops changing its locks.
Gameplay
Each session throws you into a confined space with a goal and a ticking clock. You’ll trace paths through shifting mazes, drag objects to block or trigger mechanisms, and scan environments for color-coded switches. Later levels layer tasks: collect three items while avoiding obstacles and aligning hues. Controls are click-to-act or touchpad-based, prioritizing speed over nuance. The catch? Solutions often hide in plain sight. A level might require matching red tiles by rearranging shadows, not just color swaps. With 150 levels and escalating time limits, the game rewards pattern recognition and adaptability over brute force.
What Players Think
Critic score is 88, user rating 4.3/5. Average playtime is 12 hours, with 62% of players completing 75% or more. Community moods split: 54% amused, 28% frustrated, 31% intrigued. Reviewers call it “addictive but punishing”, one wrote, “Frustrating but clever, like a riddle that won’t stop evolving.” Achievement data shows 120 total, with 78% unlocked on average. The most common complaint? Late-game time limits feel unfair. Still, 89% of players say they’d replay levels for speedrun achievements, even if it means “multiple rage-quits.”
PlayPile's Take
Puzzle Vault is for fans of cerebral challenges who don’t mind grinding their gears. At $29.99, it’s a mid-tier buy with replay value in speedrun modes and hidden solutions. The 120 achievements (78% average completion) add longevity but won’t satisfy casual players. If you thrive on solving puzzles under pressure and can tolerate its stingier design choices, it’s worth the price. Skip if you prefer relaxed problem-solving, this vault locks you in, and the key is almost never where you expect.
