How it feels
A tense, methodical puzzle adventure where you replay the same mansion over and over, relying only on your own observation and memory.

What players say
Players either love or hate CodeX for its extreme difficulty and refusal to guide the player, there is no tutorial, dialogue, or save system. The story unfolds wordlessly as you explore a mansion. It takes about 3 hours to finish, but many gave up early because the first puzzle is unclear.
