How it feels

A gentle, story-driven point-and-click adventure with hand-drawn visuals and simple puzzles in a desolate sci-fi world.

What players say

Players say this is a short point-and-click adventure, about two hours, with charming visuals that remind many of Machinarium. The puzzles are mostly easy, though a few feel illogical. Players are split on the story with some finding it uninteresting, while others note the game is only chapter one of a planned trilogy and ends on a cliffhanger.
