How it feels

You carefully design and test chain reactions in a calm, methodical VR space where each gadget placement feels like a small experimental step.

What players say

Players say the physics and concept are great, but the campaign is short at around 4 hours and too repetitive. Controls that only use one hand frustrate some, while others find it relaxing. The community activity is dead.
