Tasking the previous example in this case as well, the boy from the Distant minigame meets up with the girl from the Focused game, who also is trying to evade people, but in different methods than the ways used by the boy in Distant. The game’s main point is to arrive to a certain place within the game where two characters from two different puzzles meet, so they can continue their travels together. By pressing the circle button you return to your previous move, which comes in handy quite a lot in the whole game not just the Distant minigame. Once they catch up, the screen goes blurry and it’s game over. If they see you, they will chase you until they reach you, and there is no escaping them even though you take the sharpest turns and escape their field of vision. For example without giving too much away, the Distant minigame involves moving your character across the map avoiding enemies, which really are just people moving about. What I also like about the games is that there is no indication at all of what must be done to make progress in the game, meaning one has to figure out whatever must be done by himself, even button presses and commands.

Pillar is divided into a series of minigames, entitled especially towards a certain trait or feeling of someone’s personality, and essentially behaving that way to beat the level. Basically, this is a personality driven game, where your actions ingame will reflect the type of game you are playing.

Pillar is one of the most particular games I have ever seen, and it was designed to be this way.

Fortunately, Pillar, a PS4 exclusive Puzzle game, aims to be a light among the emptiness of the genre on the console Coupled with the fact that exclusives are becoming very limited and games are coming out on quite a number of platforms, one realises that there may not be a lot of space for these puzzle games. The roster for puzzle games on the PlayStation 4 is strengthening itself little by little, but having launched a little over a year ago, it obviously is still not that rich in variety.
