About TesserAct
Set inside a universe based on scientific theory, college student Sam is inexplicably teleported to the decaying Heywood-Bowman facility, where she stumbles upon the Catalyst, a device that can manipulate the laws of physics.
The Catalyst, one variant of a line of emergency and industrial tools, allows the user to temporarily walk on water, climb falling water, run faster, and stop objects in mid-air to create stepping stones.
When Sam learns that a malfunctioning experimental stardrive, deep inside the facility, is threatening to rip space-time apart, she must use the Catalyst to find a way to destroy the stardrive, and ultimately find a way back home.

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
(First review on Steam but I had to warn people not to buy this game) One of the worst game I played on Steam ..... I love Portal-like games, usually .... But this game has so many cons that it's finally unplayable and you'll prefer to play another game instead. I gave up after 30 minutes and I don't even know why I played for that long (At least I got it for cheap in a bundle but that doesn't mean that it has to be really bad) :S Pros: - It wants to be like Portal Cons: - Really feels like an unfinished product - No crosshair in a First-Person Game (?!?) - Cubes do NOT respawn if you lose them even if it's necessary to continue - Can't change options while in-game (Have to go back to the menu..) - Most of the time, I knew what to do but I died because of bugs so it was frustrating - So many bugs...7 found this helpful
Picked up box I was standing on. PHYSICS! Buy a different game.6 found this helpful
Most people would stop playing this game before finishing the first level due to technical problems. First time i played the game i found out that before the level actually starts and you're in the first room, you cant hit ESC or open any menus of any kind. I hit F1 and the game went all wireframe, and i couldn't get it back, had to close with Task Manager. Overall the game feel unfinished and movement is not very smooth at all. I didn't expect it to be as smooth as most games on the unreal engine, but this one doesn't feel good. Too many bad things wrong with this game that i dont need to list. Only for hardcore fans of this genre, i thought i was until i played this.4 found this helpful
Max supported resolution is 900p. Can't access options (i.e. graphics settings, mouse sensitivity and key bindings) during the game, you have to return to the main menu for that. The level design has some flaws - especially horrendous collision detection - but in the beginning I thought "Alright, it's obviously the dev's first game, but it's not terrible." Shortly after, the game introduced deaths (in combination with unskippable cutscenes), soft locks (need to return to the main menu after losing a box etc) and invisible walls. Can't believe this game has a 15€ price tag.2 found this helpful
It's an enjoyable game. Obviously made on a shoestring budget but they did what they could. Rough in places, frustrating in others but ultimately it's fun I guess.1 found this helpful
The idea behind the game is really good, I would enjoy the game play if it had no issues with the graphics. It gave me a lot of Cyberpunk 2077 vibes due to the rendering issues it has, objects and surfaces randomly disappear from the view, thus the players will hardly find their way to the end. If the rendering gets redone, I would recommend the game to buy.
