As if awakening from a deep sleep, you find yourself in a strange, contradictory world of ancient ruins and advanced technology. Tasked by your creator with solving a series of increasingly complex puzzles, you must decide whether to have faith, or to ask the difficult questions: Who are you? What is your purpose And what are you going to do about it?
Runs well on modern hardware.

Loved the game until I got stuck on one puzzle and had to ragequit and never play it ever again 11/10
Clearly it was influenced by Portal - in post-human world you are forced by machine to solve environmental puzzles while having set of very simple tools at your disposal. Puzzle difficulty is well balanced and give satisfaction when figured out. Took me 25h for 100% completion. Although few stars require tedious searching which brings nothing to the table in terms of difficulty. Story is mediocre, with exceptionally boring monologues about faith. Presented in equally boring form of reading endless files on terminals scattered across whole map. Luckily they are not mandatory to analyze to solve puzzles. If you like Portal give it a try.
An amazing puzzle game, and an amazing story going with it. If you ever wanted to deeply think about the meaning of existance, and what it means to be human (or just be) - this game is for you
