How it feels

A tense puzzle-solving game where you methodically examine and hack futuristic devices to uncover a story while trapped in a locked laboratory.

What players say

Players say the puzzles are simple and the game is short, with some relying on minigames rather than clever challenges. A few puzzles have questionable logic, but the environmental puzzles are more enjoyable.
