How it feels

A love-letter to first-person puzzlers that feels like solving brain-teasers in a futuristic, darkly humorous corporate complex.

What players say

Players call it a short Portal-inspired puzzler with a light-and-shadow mechanic. The puzzles start easy and get harder, though some find them mundane. The story is simple but entertaining, with a Dvorak keyboard option as a quirky detail.
