First-person puzzle focused on spatial reasoning and environmental interaction.

Design Goals
--------------------------------------------------------------

The main goal was to create a sense of progression by gradually introducing mechanics and later combining them into more complex puzzles.

This game also contains collectable notes that tell the story behind the journey for more dedicated players.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Core Mechanics
--------------------------------------------------------------

In addition to basic movement and interaction (levers and collectables), the player uses three core abilities:

- Force - push and pull puzzle cubes
- Illusion - make puzzle cubes, walls and platforms solid or ethereal
- Scale - enlarge or shrink puzzle cubes.

These abilities are introduced progressively, allowing the player to learn each one before combining them to solve more complex puzzles.
