About

First-person puzzle game built around manipulating tools to bypass obstacles and reach sigils. You're a robot solving puzzles in environments mixing ancient ruins with advanced tech. Core mechanics involve redirecting laser beams with mirrors, jamming turrets with boxes, and cloning items through special devices to reach otherwise inaccessible areas. Puzzles grow more intricate as tools combine in unexpected ways. Between challenges, terminals present philosophical questions about consciousness, free will, and what it means to follow orders versus think independently. The setup is deliberately strange—you don't know who built you or why these tests exist. Suits players who want spatial reasoning challenges wrapped in existential questions rather than pure mechanical head-scratchers.
