La Madriguera is a surreal puzzle exploration game set inside a shifting, maze-like world. Players explore the interconnected dreamscapes while solving environmental puzzles and uncovering cryptic clues about the world and its inhabitants.
The main loop in La Madriguera involves exploring oddly familiar yet distorted rooms that change shape, position, and meaning depending on how you interact with their components. Memory, patience, and experimentation are the keys to navigating this environment.
La Madriguera relies on dream logic. Players must think metaphorically rather than linearly. For example, a shadow cast on a wall might open a portal, while a sound pattern may unlock a previously inaccessible route.
Although the game avoids hand-holding, it does offer subtle tools like sketchable maps, lore books, and dream journals that evolve with player progress. These elements help piece together not only puzzles but also the surreal world’s narrative structure.
La Madriguera is not a game for those seeking instant gratification. It invites players to get lost, question their assumptions, and discover its many secrets through patience and observation.
