The Directed

Not all games have to be about magic, explosions car chases and loot, with people sometimes leaning more towards the casual genre as their time becomes more and more limited. The Directed is a title that follows this trope, utilizing intricate puzzles to keep your brain busy for hours on end.

Being a game developed in Unity, you already know that it will be in good quality 3D while not being taxing on your PC's GPU or your other system resources for that matter. You start by selecting the overall graphics settings of the game you plan on running, the resolution, and whether or not you want it to be fullscreen or windowed. You will then be welcomed into a charming world or relaxing music, space-themed graphics and fifty puzzles that will keep your mind busy for quite some time.

Before starting your first level, the game briefs you on how exactly you have to play it, with subsequent commands being unlocked as your progress more through the content. You have to prepare a set of orders (or "directions") for your avatar which it will follow without question on the tiled filed, and you must give them in such a way that it must reach the destination. Once all the directions have been given, you press the "play" button, and your avatar will start running on the tiles, following your directions to the letter, until it reaches an obstacle or finishes the level. One thing worth mentioning is that the playing field is limited so falling off of it is possible, and will incur an automatic loss of that level.

If you're looking for a game that can easily be completed in a few minutes of your spare time, while still posing a challenge for your mind, then look no further than The Directed, which provides you all of that, all wrapped in a relaxing atmosphere, both visually and auditory.
