—A first person puzzle game where your vision defines reality, and only the things you can see exist. Learn and master the strange behaviours of objects outside your vision. Traverse the ancient structures of a world forgotten by the universe.
Object Impermanence
SteamYour science expedition is sent to investigate a planet adrift in a vast void, where a ship malfunction leads to a rough landing. With your vessel unable to carry you home, the ruins ahead call to you, their doors opening only to those who see the patterns of the decayed reality, and who learn to use them to their advantage.

To progress you need to interact with the old machines across the ruins, and the world around you, but the decaying reality makes them behave in strange ways when you look away.
When something leaves your field of view, some things no longer:


Solve mind-bending puzzles by using your vision to control what exists and what doesn't. Doors open, elevators move, lights shine, fans blow, and critters scurry only when you see them.
The traces of a long-dead civilization echo across the walls as you journey through the regions of this desolate reality. These ruins of this world hold many secrets for you to discover:

Beyond the horizon, a tower stands tall, untouched by the decay. The only structure tall enough to carry a distress call from the last isolated soul on this forgotten planet. This might be your way out.
On your way there you'll uncover an ancient conflict which led to this world being isolated and abandoned for thousands of years, until you came here.

For something to exist, it needs to be remembered, and everything that exists, eventually degrades.
