Description
A game about object permanence, or rather the lack of it: If you don’t see it, it doesn’t exist.
The curse of isolation has caused the very laws of nature to collapse, the lands to shatter, and logic to fluctuate. Among other things, this has led to such a natural thing as object permanence becoming decayed. This means that when you look away from things, they may not behave the way you would expect. Things might lose their physical form, become paused in time, or even forget its position.
For the player who spends a little more time looking around, they can learn what happened to the world, find some secret challenges and maybe decipher the strange glyphs found across the ruins.
Uniqueness
Our game is built around a very unique mechanic. It’s a mechanic that forces you to rethink how you see the world, and ignore what is logical. And when you acclimate to this new world you’re exploring, you can interact and manipulate it in ways never thought possible before, simply by directing your vision.
In short it makes for some very cool puzzles. And the mechanic is not limited just to puzzles: As you explore you will se how the decaying object permanence has affected the world around you, and its inhabitants.
