GAMEPLAY

Every level in the game has a puzzle the player has to solve in order to
proceed. The challenges are of various types – reconstruct destroyed stairs,
sneak unnoticed, return blocks to their original place. And almost every land
has one thing in common – Time Obelisks. Time Obelisks allow to revert some
objects in time and return them to their default position. So, you have to get
the access to Time Obelisks or activate them in a particular way. When all the
obelisks in the level are activated and the puzzle is solved, the gate to
another land is accessible.

However, figuring out how to get to the Time Obelisks is not always a piece of
cake. Every land has custom physics areas, so the player has to carefully look
around the level and figure out which combination will succeed. To make your
task a little bit easier, there are allies in every land which will tell you
some story and hints.

STORY

An anonymous boy is stuck in a limbo – which was caused by his psychological
problems – and tries to escape it. The limbo is full of curious lands with
unusual physical phenomena, which have to be understood and defeated.

However, the boy is not completely alone. In every land, his subconsciousness
creates an ally, a tiny monster called Regrepsa. Regrepsa can tell him
something about the current land, the overall situation and give a clue how to
escape it – and everything will be told in a quite mysterious way. After all,
it is up to our protagonist if he can solve the puzzle or not.
