Key Features
Get Ready To Overclock Your Logic Processor: Experience logic puzzles, escape rooms, and demanding multitasking through four different game modes: point & click, driving, direct WASD-style controls, and destructive lasers. Dynamic puzzle solving allows for multiple solutions to many puzzles, including shortcuts that might just save the day!
Looking For An Extra Challenge? Choose from three difficulties that adjust the structure of puzzles in subtle but important ways. Reduce the difficulty at any time to cool your processor, or stick to hard mode and use every core to prove your problem-solving prowess! Flex your search algorithm on any difficulty to find optional hidden secrets throughout the game that unlock a mysterious door deep in an abandoned lab.
Where We’re Going, We Don’t Need Saves: Did you make a mistake? Forget the tedious business of traditional save/load management. A persistent health system allows you to replay previous levels at any time, saving your highest health result on each level, and carrying it forward cumulatively without losing progress.
Fully-Voiced Dialogue: Characters come to life with fully-voiced lines of dialogue.
Visual Nostalgia: Experience a modern world in retro style through isometric pixel art drawn by a guy who likes to rub his face on kitty bellies. (Marketing tells me that's not a feature, but I think they're just jealous.)
Take Control: All modes fully support keyboard/mouse and controller input. A dual joystick thruster combo battle-station with full pedal array is a little less supported, but you can try. I'm not the police.
