How it feels
A classic 2D puzzle-platformer that feels like a clever, methodical exploration through a sprawling lab, using gateway guns and time echoes to solve puzzles at your own pace.

What players say
Players compare it to a 2D Portal with extra mechanics like scaling, gravity, and time travel. It is short, around 5 hours, and blends puzzle solving with metroidvania backtracking. Players are split on the difficulty, with some finding the later puzzles and time travel sections challenging.
