A good retro puzzler with a premise
The first thing to notice with Clotilde Soffritti in: Never Double Park your Spaceship is its visual style. Playing the game feels like going through the pages of a classic comic book similar to Archie Comics or The Adventures of Tintin. This aesthetic makes the game surprisingly calming to play, which especially helps players in the face of its puzzles.
Speaking of puzzles, this game has a wide variety of challenges in terms of design and difficulty level. You can drag objects, left-click and right-click elements, or even solve riddles. There are even challenges that involve considering the dialogues and character movements in order to advance the story. There’s not a lot of pressure, too. The game has no death or time mechanics, allowing you to work at your pace.
For a challenging game, this indie has a relatively short playthrough. You can finish the game in less than 30 minutes, although you’d probably feel the experience to be shorter because of the fun and continuous storytelling that the game uses with every move. It is enjoyable and complete as it is, and its limited content only invites you to play other games in the same Clotilde Soffritti series.
Brief and satisfactory
Overall, Clotilde Soffritti in: Never Double Park your Spaceship is a quick yet memorable puzzle game experience. Its limited content is offset by a number of strengths it delivers for the player. It has an unusual design choice that makes it feel like a comic book in motion, its puzzles are varied, and there’s a host of interesting dialogue available.
