Redactem
A 2D platformer where time-rewind and gravity manipulation replace traditional jumping, clever puzzle design hobbled by finicky controls and a tutorial that assumes too much.
GamerScout Verdict
Clever mechanic concept undermined by loose controls, a curious experiment worth a dollar, not a session.
Compare Prices(5 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Redactem
I've spent enough time with precision platformers to recognize when a game has genuinely novel mechanics versus gimmicks. Redactem's core loop, rewind time and flip gravity to solve level layouts, is legitimately inventive. The puzzle architecture feels intentional, rewarding players who think about physics rather than reflexes. Controller support is a plus, and the visual feedback for gravity shifts is clean enough. The catch is execution. Input lag and floaty movement make the platforming sections feel disconnected from your inputs, turning what should be satisfying gravity puzzles into frustrating struggle sessions. The tutorial glosses over why certain mechanic combos matter, leaving newcomers guessing. For a sub-5 dollar indie title, it's a bold concept, but the implementation doesn't quite stick the landing.
