A philosophical first-person puzzle game set in a post-human world, where you solve clever logic puzzles in striking environments while pondering consciousness and humanity. The story and conversations with fellow robots matter as much as the puzzles.

Red Matter

Accessible and relaxed

An atmospheric VR puzzle adventure in which you play an astronaut exploring an abandoned moon base in a retro-futuristic Cold War world. You solve hands-on environmental puzzles while uncovering a dark secret.

Paper Beast

Unmechanical

Europa

You guide a shapeless organism by erasing its cells, and that is how you move through a ruined world. The unusual control scheme turns each puzzle into a creative experiment.

Viewfinder
