Aboard the research vessel Alabaster, explore a ship left in lockdown and work with Juniper, its stranded pilot, to investigate the crew’s disappearance. Clues emerge through conversations and records found around the ship.
In each puzzle, guide a small robot whose trailing cable must reach designated pillars. Plan a route that follows that puzzle’s rules, which can involve colors, ordering, obstacles, switches, or other constraints.
Explore the ship freely and solve more than 300 puzzles, often in a flexible order. Completing linked puzzle groups opens further areas; optional environmental riddles and crew logs add clues, and a hint system is available for difficult puzzles.
Players who enjoy Filament often praise its inventive, varied cable-routing puzzles and the satisfaction of working through a difficult solution. Some also appreciate the shipboard mystery, atmosphere, and soundtrack. Other reviewers find the challenge steep or the solving process too dependent on trial and error, with slow retries and occasional visual glitches also mentioned.
