How it feels

A calm, methodical puzzle game where you manipulate rusty gears and objects inside a machine, with each level feeling like a self-contained, atmospheric brain teaser.

What players say

Players say the physics are unreliable and the controls are imprecise, turning puzzles into a battle with the mechanics rather than with logic. The lack of music coupled with grating sound effects, no menu or resolution options, and glitchy performance make it feel unfinished, like a student project.
