How it feels

A slow, isolated puzzle exploration where you create and swap between clones to solve clever environmental challenges in a quiet, eerie space station.

What players say

Players praise its unique cloning puzzle mechanic and thought-provoking sci-fi story, though many find the puzzles very challenging, with some needing a guide. The game offers two endings, and the final ethical choice is especially memorable.
