How it feels

A casual but mentally demanding puzzle game where you work through levels by unlocking them with thought.

What players say

Players describe a straightforward escape-room game with no plot or dialogue. Many complain that puzzles are illogical and clues don't connect, though a few find them moderately interesting. Technical problems like unresponsive areas and a progression-blocking bug in level 12 are common, despite a January 2019 fix. The low price and 20 levels are often seen as fair for what is offered.
