Carry orbs that contain other worlds, jump into them and out again, and use each world's power to solve puzzles.
Who it suits
Puzzle lovers who want something clever but calm. No text, no dying to speak of.
01The first hour
You hatch, walk and pick up a glowing orb. Then you realise you can jump inside it, and the game opens up in your head.
02The middle
Worlds inside worlds inside worlds: the middle puzzles are some of the cleverest in years, yet never unfair.
03Where to stop
Each world ends with a boss-like puzzle and a clear pause. Two or three evenings is ideal.
