What players say
Players praise the puzzles and surreal, fractal-inspired visuals, but the story splits them: some find it pretentious or boring, others enjoy its strangeness. The game is frequently compared to Manifold Garden and Antichamber, with a slow narrative wrapped around the puzzle sections.
