How it feels

a slow, methodical puzzle adventure through fantastical worlds, blending dreamlike and mechanical environments with a focus on exploration and artifact-collection.

What players say

Players praise the puzzles as rewarding and intricate, especially the animations that play when you solve one. However the game is deeply dated: no widescreen support, clunky controls, pixel hunting, and poor voice acting. The story is thin and the ending is a cliffhanger, which frustrated some. Fans of classic Myst-style games are most likely to enjoy it.
