How it feels

A surreal, puzzle-heavy trek through shifting dimensions where you manipulate physics while a darkly comic story unfolds.

What players say

Players compare it to Portal, Half-Life, and Soma, but are split on execution. Many find the puzzles satisfying yet frustratingly hard, with poorly telegraphed solutions and difficulty spikes. The constant chatter and chase sequences draw strong criticism, as do autosave-only checkpoints and bugs.
