How it feels

A deliberate, first-person puzzle game where you methodically explore dimensional switching to solve abstract tests.

What players say

Players describe it as a short Portal-inspired puzzle game with a color-switching mechanic, finishing in under an hour. They praise some clever puzzles but note clunky platforming, a lack of mouse sensitivity, and that some puzzles can be bypassed with box stacking.
