How it feels

A deliberate, brain-teasing puzzle game where you methodically manipulate cubes in a sterile sci-fi environment to solve physics-based conundrums.

What players say

Players say the puzzles are solid for a 3-5 hour playthrough, but the game shows its age with no subtitles, finicky physics, and some frustrating puzzles late on. The story aims to subvert Portal but some find it falls flat.
