How it feels

A solitary sci-fi exploration where you piece together a mystery while navigating an unstable alien world.

What players say

Players say the game is a maze of repetitive corridors with simple, often tedious puzzles like sliding tiles. The story is told entirely through text logs, and the ending is anticlimactic. Some appreciate the minimalist sound design, but many find the environments barren and the gameplay boring.
