Theta is a little girl who turns left every time she hits a wall. She is curious about the world and discovers a mysterious place, where she picked up a fork that can split her into multiple copies of herself, and from that moment, the world changes forever.

- The game features highly inventive and original puzzle mechanics that build on each other, providing a deep and satisfying logical challenge.
- Puzzles emphasize clever reasoning over trial-and-error or tedious block sliding, rewarding players with well-designed, elegant solutions.
- The presentation is outstanding, with beautiful art and calming music that enhances the immersive experience.
- The early game onboarding is abrupt and under-explained, making the initial learning curve steep and potentially discouraging.
- The core movement mechanic involving automatic counter-clockwise turns when hitting walls can feel unintuitive and fiddly, especially when managing multiple characters.
- Some puzzles and levels can feel disproportionately difficult or frustrating due to reliance on obscure tricks or unintuitive physics, leading to occasional player frustration.

“Beautiful puzzle game with many mechanical surprises.”
“What's even more impressive than Theta's successful implementation of multi-agent simultaneous movement is that layered on top of this framework is a greatest hits of other contentious puzzle mechanics. Somehow Theta manages to make them work exceptionally well together.”
“Your goal is to intuit novel controls, avoid landmines, learn rules and mechanics that continue to build on each other, and iterate across time and through wormholes.”
“The base mechanic of turning left when facing a wall is arbitrary and counter-intuitive, and a few levels later, the game expects you to intuit a new mechanic where you have to manipulate how you 'loop' around a level so that your two characters stop moving in lockstep.”
“At times, the next puzzle feels like a giant leap that makes you feel completely lost, not sure whether you're missing a mechanic, a trick to the mechanics, or simply overlooking something obvious.”
“You get a sense of it, but 20 hours in it's still not native to space them how I want when I need to; you need several specific positionings and orientations a lot due to the counter-clockwise thing and other mechanics dependent on her movement.”
