About
You wake in a strange domicile, feeling the presence of far-removed eyes boring into your skull.
Gaining your senses, you get up and try to figure out how you got here.
Solve puzzles, remove obstacles, and outmanoeuvre threats in your quest for answers.
Find your way to the bottom of it all with no map, no compass, and no hints.
Uncover d̸e̷e̵p̴l̸y̴ ̴h̵i̶d̵d̶e̷n secrets even the original developers didn't know about.
The original game's DIRUS Materiality Engine allowed the player to experience cutting-edge immersion like no other virtual world available at the time. The world has moved on, but this remastered edition brings the Materiality Engine as-is into the modern era.
We have gone to great lengths to ensure the graphics are identical (with an optional NTSC filter) and left the original control scheme fully intact in the efforts of preserving the classic and original Apparatus experience.
This game is not for the faint of heart and was born from a different era of design—it will not hold your hand. Some have described it as unpleasant to play, others have grown too frustrated to continue.
It will confuse you.

This game is really cool and gets better the further in you get. It goes places!
Very unique, purely exploration based game. Traversing low-poly 3D environments is all you're going to do in this game, which is great because the level design is top-notch. Each area is really distinct, and makes you want to keep playing to see what is around the next corner. It takes dedication to make progress, but it is very rewarding.

Not the biggest fan of the tank controls but it's time-period accurate so I can't complain about it too much, it's very well made and well worth the price!
a treacherous journey through a multitude of epic puzzles
I have really enjoyed playing this game and it has given me 20 Hours of absorbing gameplay. The aesthetic is perfect as it harks back to the days of the early Sega Master system games where what is important is the gameplay not the graphics (No Super HD hyper realism here). It took me ages to get the jumps right so I died a lot at first but apart from the do around there does not seem to be a downside to this. I loved the fact that there are levels to find in this game that are not physical levels (Trying not to give anything away.....) This is such a small investment in monetary terms for such a rewarding game in enjoyment and puzzling. Buy it / Play it / You wont regret it.
Finally I think I've found all the secrets. Such a gem of a game. Very cool lofi locales to explore while collecting and searching for secret files on a defunct (but very real) developer's website. Every time I thought I was done, I found something new that made me explore everything all over again. Loved every minute.
Do you like Petscop? Do you wish you could actually *play* Petscop? Uh... are you OK? Is your family treating you right? Well... OK then! You'll enjoy this game, if by "enjoy," you mean "feel a sense of dread you can't quite name"
A wonderful dungeon crawler/walking sim/puzzle game/ ARG? A great title with a lot of mystery and a lot to say about what we make, what we leave behind, and who comes after.
Still have barely scratched the surface of possibility in this game and every time I went back to it I was like "well surely I must be nearing the end". I am nowhere near the end. What the ♥♥♥♥ is happening in this game. I'm lost and I'm scared. When the ♥♥♥♥ did I end up here. What the ♥♥♥♥ was that. Analog horror wishes it was this good at the metatextual.
[b]Do you know when to stop?[/b] Fantastic game. What I thought would be a neat way to spend an evening became nearly a week of obsession.
