A relaxing game about organizing

A little to the Left is a premium puzzle experience from Max Inferno and Secret Mode. This is a cozy, casual game that revolves around organizing things around the house. To keep things challenging, there is a mischievous cat that will run across and try to cause chaos every now and then.

Featuring postcard-style artwork and a lot of references to everyday living, A little to the Left is an unassuming but addictive game. Take note, however, that it has its share of challenging levels. Players who enjoyed Myst or Ocean Express will find something to enjoy here.

Making organizing fun again

A little to the Left boldly deviates from the epic battles of good against evil and puts you in the shoes of an everyday person. If you’ve tried sorting books on the shelves or the plates on the cupboard, this will feel like home to you. It offers a variety of puzzles that revolve around sorting things in a particular manner. Whether it’s making printed patterns align or fitting objects into foam cutouts, this will get you hooked.

As mentioned, aside from the puzzles themselves, the only obstacle here is a cat, which was designed with all the cuteness this art style has to offer. Even the supposed antagonist in the game is fun to be with, keeping the cozy feel all throughout. The controls are simple drag and drop, and most puzzles allow different solutions. It all wraps around nicely, with the game’s close to a hundred levels, plus a new challenge delivered daily.

The only concern in this game is its lack of consistency. While it tries to be relaxing and comfortable, some levels are unusually difficult. These sudden spikes in difficulty just appear in and out, derailing progress for some players. Other than that, there’s no major issue with the game. It is well-optimized and mostly sticks to its cozy vibes, making it a largely enjoyable experience.

The Seeing Stars DLC

A Little to the Left has rolled out another purchasable DLC to enhance the unparalleled unpacking experience, calledSeeing Stars. It comes with 38 new levels — 33 of them are a combination of themed, multiple solution puzzles and theclassic organizational levels, while the other five are bonus ones. Some levels have up to five solutions, amounting to about 100 solutions to unlock overall.

Furthermore, it comes with a new soundtrack and hints for all solutions. There are additional cats as well. On the other hand, players who opt to sit the DLC out can still benefit from something, thanks to animproved hints system in-game. Such a feature now provides hints for all possible solutions for every puzzle in the game.

A relaxing game that will test your mind

A Little to the Left is one of the most fun and surprising puzzle games of recent years. Throughout its more than 75 puzzles divided into 5 levels, you will face endless fun logic games where your biggest nightmare will be a hilarious cat in search of chaos. Accompanied by a remarkable graphic and sound section as colorful as it is relaxing, we are facing a true delight for genre lovers. It’s worth every penny.
