You play as Bob, a puppet fisherman living alone in a lighthouse cabin. After a storm warning, he sets out to reach the top and light the beacon, discovering that his home and the lighthouse around it are connected in unexpected ways.
Solve puzzles by picking up, moving, combining, and using physical objects. A miniature lighthouse inside the cabin mirrors the larger world, so placing or moving an object in one scale can affect what is available in another.
Progress through connected rooms and encounters, using these scale-shifting interactions to overcome obstacles. The journey includes helping uncanny characters and preparing a fishing boat before continuing toward the lighthouse beacon.
Players often enjoy how the nested-world mechanic turns VR interaction into inventive, hands-on puzzles, and describe the visuals, narration, and storybook atmosphere as charming. Some find the puzzles easy, while others enjoy their perspective-shifting challenge. A recurring reservation is that the adventure ends quickly.
