It's not a bad game exactly, but I also don't really feel I got what I was promised. First off all that noise they make at the store page about a science fiction author being involved can be completely ignored. if you are not a physicist good luck making any sense of this as absolutely ZERO effort is put into making any of the science accessible to a layperson. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not making that clear on the store page is false advertising as far as I'm concerned. Aside from that there isn't any store except what amount to some text entries that you unlock as you photograph things, which is the main mechanic. How metroidvania is this? It isn't. It features some abilities that are needed to progress, but the game is completely linear, there's no benefit to revisiting old areas. The abilities are from an MV-standpoint non-standard and that can be interesting, but the thing with standard abilities is they also work. And many of these - particularly the glove - you have to keep redoing ♥♥♥♥ because the abilities don't work right - and not trying to do something you shouldn't, but approaching the puzzle as you should using the right abilities. No combat. Puzzles & Platforming: This is the core of the game and it is largely good, but suffers from some problems. The puzzles are largely good. There are analysis puzzles (using a special thing where you have to analyze patters with some tools to place cards right and this is where I would assume if I understood any of it or they bothered to explain to a layperson that the science is accurate), some puzzles & platforming that's based around using you various abilities to navigate around certain special materials (4 of them) that get in the way. Secondly there are some larger puzzles as well that basically work on the same principle but you have to navigate a big room with other overarching goals. And and then there are some where you have to input a password. The puzzles mostly work fine. Some are frustrating, some don't really work all that way with a character you have to move around as you have no overview and NO way of moving the camera independently of the character. Although I did experience one puzzle that was bugged out - solved it right, even checked with guide and redid puzzle too and it wouldn't work. Fine game as a puzzle-platformer albeit frustrating at times, as a metroidvania or narrative experience it delivers little.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

A great little metroidvania that really makes you feel like a scientist. It also has an Outer Wilds-like quality to it where you discover the story through exploration, which makes exploration truly enjoyable. Some disclaimers to make sure you don't come to this game seeking something it won't provide: - There is no combat. - The default controls are very poorly planned, but you can re-map the important ones, and you can use your mouse in place of the (un-changeable) k and m keys. - It is very linear for a metroidvania, and the map system could stand to be improved. - The puzzles are pretty simple, and the main puzzle mechanic is largely just matching things up according to their qualities. Come for the exploration, the story, and atmosphere. If you're looking for a traditional metroidvania or puzzle game, don't bother.
J'adore ce jeu, même s'il m'a fallu un peu de temps d'adaptation pour les énigmes j'ai passé un excellent moment sur mon Steam Deck. Bravo, il faut plus de jeux comme celui-ci.
amazing game, fun and challenging
Très beau jeu d'énigmes
A very enjoyable game that I highly recommend. Good balance between platform and puzzle. Complex enough to be fun, but not too daunting. The genius of the game is that it takes you gently, and if you want to, into the world of particle physics. Never boring. Just as long as it needs to be. Lush graphics. Great soundtrack. I would never have believed it possible to make me do physics during the summer holidays. (Important : You can probably play without paying too much attention to particules. It will remain a very good game, I think) Just one very important question now, if I want to go further where will I find a good bibliography of particule physics popularization? :-)
Metroidvania concentré sur l'aspect exploration, aucun combat, et un côté casse-tête très bien dosé. Excellente surprise.
Le jeu est sympas, les énigmes sont intéressantes et varié sans être trop difficiles. Idem pour l'aspect plateforme, c'est juste assez exigent pour être sympa.
C'est un tour de force de réussir à faire un jeu ludique avec de la physique des particules ! Ce n'est pas un cours déguisé, c'est un (très bon) Metroidvania, avec des énigmes directement inspirées de la physique fondamentale. Pour les non physiciens, ça fournit un univers dont on perçoit la richesse incroyable, sans avoir connaitre quoi que ce soit aux maths - et ça donne sacrément envie de creuser pour en savoir plus ! Pour les physiciens, c'est bourré de clins d'oeils, de références, d'easter eggs... Bravo !
Very pleasant game. The puzzles are well thought out, and the art style works well. It manages to be educational about a complex subject while staying engaging. As someone who knew a bit about particle physics and Feynman diagrams, I had a lot of fun trying to see where the puzzles were going.
