Players explore and solve intricate mechanical puzzles throughout the game. The puzzles follow a familiar structure - players receive a series of crates containing mysterious alien artifacts, which they must then examine and interact with to unravel the puzzles and get the devices functioning again. Reviewers noted that the puzzles, while not overly difficult, still require sharp observation and clever thinking to solve. Players make use of various tools like a 3D printer, an endoscope, and a customizable screwdriver to interact with the artifacts in unique ways. These tools add an extra layer of interactivity and challenge to the puzzles. Many reviewers praised the satisfying "aha!" moments when the solutions become clear, and the sense of accomplishment that comes from unraveling the mechanisms of the alien devices. The variety of puzzles, from simple lock-and-key challenges to more complex assembly and manipulation tasks, helps keep the gameplay feeling fresh.

While the museum backdrop may be a bit generic, it provides a grounded framework for the fantastical elements. Reviewers praised the high production values, with the visuals, animations, and sound design all contributing to an immersive, polished experience. As players delve deeper into each artifact, uncovering its various compartments and mechanisms, they are rewarded with a sense of exploration and discovery. This process of slowly peeling back the layers of the puzzles and learning how these mysterious devices function is frequently cited as a highlight of the gameplay.

❤ Narrative Integration

The game weaves a narrative thread throughout the gameplay, with players uncovering more information about the origins and purpose of the alien artifacts as they progress through the chapters.
