If I had to describe Yubibo in a sentence, it would be “Midair co-operative Kerplunk Jenga”. If your brain is struggling to imagine what that looks like in reality, then I understand. So, let me explain.
A love letter to the series, in the form of a lavish, rewarding masterpiece of game design, and I cannot wait to play it again. I honestly can’t. I want to dig around in the fantasy sandbox and see what happens next. Just remember what I’ve told you here today. Forewarned is forearmed, adventurer.
The acid test for me when it comes to these games where you want to feel immersion in a mystery is how realistic the things included seem. The Disappearance nails it.

A game about solving a mystery in a game factory, solving puzzles with parts of board games? Be still my beating heart.
