Creative and unique puzzle mechanic involving changing words in a magic book to alter the game world.
Relaxing atmosphere with a visually appealing Infinite Library setting and nice ambient music.
Focused, simple gameplay that is easy to understand and suitable for a short, casual gaming session.

The game is very short with only 13 rooms and somewhat simplistic, limiting depth and complexity.
Lack of options to adjust visual effects like motion blur, which can cause discomfort.
Limited use of the lore and books beyond word gathering, leading to missed potential for richer gameplay and story integration.

The gameplay centers on exploring and using a word-based mechanic to manipulate the environment, offering a relaxing and thoughtful puzzle experience. While the swapping mechanic is creative and encourages problem-solving, it may feel too easy and limited in scope, relying heavily on puzzles rather than traditional adventure elements.
- “The gameplay consists of you exploring the shelves of books to learn new words, and then writing them in a magic book to change things about the room, in order to progress to the next one.”
- “This is a really neat mechanic that can lead to some interesting reactions!”
- “I have a specific set of challenges to work through, and the rule changing mechanic gives each one a reason to make me stop and think.”
- “They definitely could have done more with this neat swapping mechanic, as it was too easy, but I still had a really nice relaxing time!”
- “There is not a huge amount of combat or traditional adventure gameplay to fall back on, so the puzzles have to carry most of the experience.”
- “The gameplay is about as simple as it gets.”

The story is minimal and serves more as a backdrop for simple, easy quests focused on using knowledge rather than narrative depth. While the game's atmosphere is praised, it feels more like an experimental prototype in need of a fuller version with more complexity and content. Overall, the experience is short and relaxing rather than richly story-driven.
- “The infinite library gives the game a strange atmosphere, and I like the idea that knowledge is actually something I can use to change the world rather than just something I read for story purposes.”
- “Too short, simple and easy, so - even though there is a story and even voiced monologues - I'd call it an experiment or a prototype, and I'd certainly like to see a full version with more complex puzzles, more words and so on.”
- “Apple Faces Up is a short walking simulator with a few quests along the way and some lovely Asian music.”
- “Too short, simple and easy, so - even though there is a story and voiced monologues - I'd call it an experiment or a prototype. I'd certainly like to see a full version with more complex puzzles and a deeper story.”
- “The game doesn't really have much of a story; it's more about quests and using your knowledge to complete them.”
- “The quests themselves are pretty easy, making the whole game feel really chill from the very start.”
