"a refreshing departure from the typical mobile puzzle game" - Continue-Play.com
You are meant to be confused. The story unfolds as a sparse linear narrative at the beginning, evolving into a complex series of puzzles as your familiarity with the world grows. As you progress, puzzles become increasingly intricate, leading to entire chapters that transform into meta-puzzles essential for advancement. However, at its core, this story is as much about the journey as it is about overcoming challenges.
Features:
- The world dynamically adjusts the difficulty of puzzle types over time.
- The Failsafe System, accessible via the pause menu, switches puzzle types if a player struggles to progress.
- 10 hours of meticulously crafted narrative and 12 procedural endless modes.
A fusion of a classic streamlined 'Zork-like' text adventure with color-based puzzle matching games and Minesweeper mechanics.
In this experience, you will navigate a realm of memories, faced with decisions and puzzles as a convoluted, enigmatic, and sometimes dark narrative unfolds within the text-based environment around you.
A distinctive interactive fiction and color-matching application for iPhone, iPad (both portrait and landscape modes supported), or iPod. The first half of the story is available for free, while a single In-App Purchase unlocks the second half permanently. This remains the sole in-app purchase within the game.
