How it feels

Guiding a pink square through a shifting, rotating labyrinth feels like a meditative yet disorienting journey of discovery and introspection.

What players say

Players describe Expand as a short, minimalist game that starts relaxing but gets more frantic and challenging. The Christopher Larkin soundtrack is widely praised, and the seamless no-loading-screen design impresses. Players recommend a controller over keyboard. Opinions are split on value, some find it a satisfying experience, others say it feels overpriced for its two-hour length.
