How it feels

You play as a lone worker in a silent moonbase, solving puzzles while a creeping paranoia builds around who—or what—might be trying to kill you.

What players say

Players praise the story, voice acting and atmosphere of this space station mystery, but many describe the physics-based puzzles as frustrating due to poor box stacking and climbing mechanics.
