How it feels

You manipulate a mysterious cube, peering into each face to discover surreal dioramas that connect through optical illusions, making the act of solving feel thoughtful and mesmerising.

What players say

Players praise the clever puzzle design that connects objects across different scenes, but many find the logic occasionally arbitrary and frustrating. The game tells an emotional, wordless story about war and memory through its visual puzzles, though opinion splits on whether the puzzles are satisfying or too obtuse.
