Humanity is extinct, but its culture continues in a city of robots. You play as 1K, a newly created robot who joins an expedition to a mysterious island and its powerful megastructure.
Solve puzzle rooms by directing lasers, activating switches, and combining familiar tools with new abilities such as gravity manipulation and transferring your mind between bodies. New mechanics are introduced across the island’s regions, with optional challenges for players seeking tougher puzzles.
Explore varied environments, discover terminals and traces of forgotten history, and talk with the expedition’s robot companions. Conversations and choices explore questions about civilization and its future, and can affect the story’s course.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its inventive puzzle mechanics and the satisfaction of working out solutions, alongside its varied, striking environments. Many also appreciate its philosophical questions, robot characters, and story about the future of civilization. Some reviewers find the puzzles too easy or uneven, and others feel that long walks and frequent dialogue interrupt the puzzle-solving pace.
