How it feels

A tense, puzzle-driven adventure where you methodically investigate anomalies and question reality as a trapped alien robot.

What players say

Players split on this puzzle game: some enjoy the sokoban-inspired design and mystery, but many complain the full game shifts from pure puzzles to tight timed challenges and enemy chases. It is very short at about an hour, and some levels punish mistakes with instant death and no save points, leading to frustration.
