How it feels
A meditative and deeply logical puzzle game where you manipulate infinite regressions of boxes inside boxes, slowly bending your mind around spatial recursion.

What players say
Players praise the clever recursion mechanics and satisfying puzzle design, calling it a gentle introduction to the genre with a shallow learning curve. The art and music are plain, but the game delivers consistent mind-bending moments. Some find it too short for the price and wish for more content, while others take 20 hours on the main levels alone.
