GorogoavsThe Inner World
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.
Gorogoa
Optimization · Pure Optimization
Hand-drawn puzzle where overlapping illustrated panels unlock impossible connections.
The Inner World
Optimization · Pure Optimization
Classic item-combination puzzle solving in a hand-drawn world.
Gorogoa leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); The Inner World leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
GorogoaThe Inner World
Axis by axis
Execution0 vs 0
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Gorogoa
Dragging panels requires no skill
The Inner World
Pointing and clicking, no dexterity
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

The Inner World
Asposia's characters are scripted
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Gorogoa
Solutions unknown on first encounter only
The Inner World
Puzzle states hidden until explored, then fixed
Optimization7 vs 6
Gorogoa leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Gorogoa
Each panel arrangement has one elegant solvable answer
The Inner World
Combining items through fixed puzzle logic is the game
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
