Gameplay is mostly around the puzzles where you need to find a way to solve them. You have little tips from the company at the beginning of each puzzle's area. Besides puzzles, there are a secret safe which only opens with 8 fragments and computer panels that change your surroundings.

A bit weird and short puzzle game that has 6 mostly straight forward puzzles to solve. Also the price of the game was originally 3,99€, which was then set to 29,99€ in June 2022. It was then lowered down to 14,79€ (in January 2023) and then 13,79€ (in December 2024). It is still highly overpriced. All this just so they discount the game at 90% off so it seems like you are getting an amazing deal while you absolutely don't. Works fine on Linux with Proton (Proton 4.2-1).
