Gameplay :
You simply use the arrow and Ctrl keys to control the character which can be changed using a file in the game folder.
While controlling the boy only involves walking, jumping and interacting with levers and switches, you need to be exceptionally smart and quick to time your interactions while navigating the environment.
The only weapons you need in this game are your observation skills and the IQ to combine Newton’s laws with your scientific expertise.The dark environments hide environmental hazards and traps you can avoid only if you are extremely observant or you have to die and try!
The lethal elements range from bear traps or spiders to glowing worms that handicap you to move in only one direction.
Once out of the forest and into a crumbling city the traps are more non-organics involving puzzle machinery, Electromagnets, gravity and electrocuting floors causing more gruesome deaths.
In some environments the same traps will also serve as a benefactor to complete the level.
Most of the time you will move around trying to figure out an exit. In fact I was stuck in a couple of environments for 3-4 hours. While the task seems very daunting and frustrating the end result is very satisfying.I would say it’s a game that wants you to die to complete the game. It will take superhuman genius to complete the game without a single death.The learning curve of the game is implemented wisely and as the level progresses the player while develop a sense of incarnation while solving the puzzles.
