About The Prism

The Prism is a 2D puzzle platformer about two pixels, 02 and 03 lost inside a vast prison. Unlike a normal prison, this one is alive. It is called the Prism. Its eyes stare from a distance and watch its prisoners carefully, analyzing their actions and breathing down their necks. You will face many challenges but you don't have to do it alone. You can play by yourself or locally with a friend.

The game holds many challenges and puzzles. Different elements and environments are added to create more unique situations using the abilities you have been given. As well as that, you will need to use each other as a means of getting past puzzles, opening doors and continuing your journey. The puzzles are challenging, the prism is dangerous and the world is cruel. It is possible to escape, but at what risk?

H and published by Volens Nolens Games, is a small-scale puzzle-platformer that builds its identity around cooperation, atmosphere, and a quietly unsettling premise. The game places players inside a strange, seemingly sentient structure known as the Prism, where two tiny entities—labeled 02 and 03—must navigate a series of increasingly complex environments to find a way out. Rather than relying on heavy exposition, the game hints at its narrative through tone and presentation, suggesting that the world itself is observing, perhaps even manipulating, the characters. This subtle approach gives the experience a slightly eerie edge, even if it never fully commits to a deeper storyline. The gameplay centers on solving environmental puzzles through movement, timing, and coordination. Each level is constructed around obstacles such as moving platforms, switches, hazards, and spatial challenges that require careful planning to overcome. What makes The Prism stand out is its focus on two-character interaction. In cooperative play, each player controls one entity, and progress depends on synchronizing actions—activating switches for each other, t…

Why make things complicated when you can just shine? The game feels like a child's toy for grown-ups that confuses more than it delights. Could have been better and brighter!

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
