neet puzzle game with a hp lovecraft lore

March 2025

Nice mix of Portal like puzzle but with cubes, a lot of platforming and Cthulhu vibes. Game is quite long and interesting enough to experience again in the future. Highly recommended.

I can't believe i never wrote a review to this game....It is by far one of the best games I have ever played! +The story is thrillingly exciting! +Graphics look astonishing (especially considering the release date) +The gameplay mechanics are one of their kind, melting together with the story. +++ Buenissimo!

Why does this game not get the same love and attention as Portal or Q.U.B.E?

Sept. 2024

I wouldn't have played this game if it had no reference to the Cthulhu Mythos. And I think it makes a good impression in this respect. I liked how the levels, story and atmosphere changed more and more in a dark and threatening direction. The magnetism puzzles were clever and challenging but not that great that I want more of them. But it's definitely worth playing.
