Game Informer: 8.8 / 10 by Kyle Hilliard
I don’t know that you can consider yourself a successful puzzle game if you don’t hit at least some confusing barriers that feel impassable. Finally overcoming those hurdles is what makes the genre so compelling, and Lorelei and the Laser Eyes finds that successful balance of making you feel smart more often than it makes you feel dumb. Couple that with a mystery worth unraveling, fourth-wall-breaking commentary, and unexpected reality-bending moments sending you to bizarre places, and you are left with a fantastic puzzle game that I already wish I could play again for the first time.
DualShockers: 9.2 / 10 by Jack Coleman
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a surreal and mysterious puzzle game that executes perfectly on its vision. A potential all-timer for fans of the genre.
GamesBeat: 4.5 / 5 by Rachel Kaser
Any gamer who’s a fan of puzzle games, brain teasers or adventure games will enjoy Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, especially if they’re not afraid to pull out a notebook and get writing while playing. It’s a fantastic story wrapped in a solid foundation of gameplay, and what few drawbacks there are don’t take away from the experience in any way that matters. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is a game that’ll challenge and reward you equally, and it’s one of the best overall experiences I’ve had in 2024 so far.

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes is an original surrealistic adventure game. It was developed by indie studio Simogo, and was published by Annapurna Interactive.
Plot
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes takes us on a journey to central Europe, more precisely - to an old baroque manor house. We play the role of a woman who arrives here in search of answers to the questions that bother her. As she progresses, the heroine learns more and more about the events that took place here, and also meets other people staying here, such as a well-read author and a vagabond-illusionist. How her fate will turn out depends on our actions and the choices we make.
Game mechanics
In Lorelei and the Laser Eyes we observe the action from a variety of perspectives. We move through rooms and solve various puzzles. The puzzles require not only perceptiveness (the numbers, patterns and puzzles we encounter can be part of a larger whole), but also showing cunning and the ability to think unconventionally.
Technical aspects
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes features an unconventional graphics, which combines the cartoonish style of noir film with elements straight out of vector graphics-based video games from the 1980s.
