How it feels

A disorienting and contemplative dreamscape where solving optical-illusion puzzles feels like waking up inside a strange, quiet logic.

What players say

Players call it a short, trippy perspective puzzler with a surprisingly philosophical story. Most find the puzzles straightforward and rely on a single gimmick per level, so the game is more about the surreal experience than challenge. Players split on whether the narrative lands as well as Portal's. A few report motion sickness.
