You awaken in a virtual world that functions as a prison — a place designed to limit, to control, to erase any trace of freedom.But you are not helpless. By disrupting the rules of this world, you can bend gravity, rewind time, and outwit the constructs hunting you. Each challenge is both a puzzle to solve and a test of how far you’re willing to push against the system that holds you.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Key Features</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Gravity-shifting traversal — walk on walls, ceilings, and impossible paths.</li><li>Time-rewind mechanics — undo mistakes, experiment freely, and master temporal puzzles.</li><li>Modular level design — hand-crafted challenges mixed with procedural variety.</li><li>Secrets and hidden pathways — rewards for exploration beyond the obvious.</li><li>A surreal digital atmosphere — discover a world of shifting constructs and quiet oppression.</li></ul>Every action leaves a mark.
