What players say

Players enjoy this short puzzle game about opening alien machines, often comparing it to The Room. Reviews highlight a calm, mysterious atmosphere and satisfying Aha moments as machines click into place, though many note the puzzles are easy, the controls can be fiddly, the story goes nowhere, and the sequel hinted at never released.
