What begins as a simple movement mechanic quickly evolves into increasingly complex challenges that test your intelligence and persistence. Each puzzle is more than just an obstacle—it's a key to understanding the Architect's vision and the hidden story that unfolds as you progress.

A fully voice-acted narrative brings her experiences to life, immersing you in the unfolding mystery. Each level represents a new page in Architectural Abstract magazine, documenting her journey as she approaches a revelation that could change everything.
As you play, the dynamic soundtrack adjusts to match the intensity of each moment, enhancing the sense of discovery and tension. The deeper you go, the higher the stakes become.
