About the Game

Gameplay

《CAGELING》is an abstract style narrative puzzle game, where you need to play as a 'player' by interacting with the environment, collecting and organizing scattered clues, while also facing malicious intent from the 'developer' to solve various abstract puzzles set by him.

Of course, besides interacting with various objects, being good at observation is also an important part of solving puzzles.

Game Features

The developer claims that this game is the greatest puzzle game he has ever created, a perfect game without any bugs, but in reality, it is a low-quality game created by piecing together materials. The scenes are sometimes concise, sometimes abstract, and each chapter has its own unique visual and puzzle solving style.

In fact, when you step into this game world, you have already entered the puzzle itself. Every word and item hides unexpected puzzles, whether they are layered or unrelated. Please rack your brains to solve the layers of puzzles set by that arrogant developer. The way to pass is not the only one.
