About the Game

Trapped. Isolated. Losing control.

You play as Nora, a brilliant scientist who wakes up locked inside the Research Center she once called home. But she’s not alone—her colleague Victor has turned against her, sealing every exit and injecting her with a mysterious toxin. As the substance courses through her veins, her mind grows clouded. The only way out? Solve Victor’s intricate puzzles before the toxin takes full control.

Navigate through a series of challenging, mind-bending puzzles, uncover the dark secrets behind the research facility, and outsmart Victor’s deadly traps. Can you escape before you lose yourself completely?

Features:

  • Engaging Puzzle Mechanics – Solve a variety of intricate puzzles that test your logic, memory, and problem-solving skills.

  • Thrilling Storyline – Piece together the mystery behind Victor’s mysterious toxin.

  • Atmospheric Environment – Explore a haunting research center filled with cryptic clues.

  • Take your time – There is no time limit. Play at your own pace (~4-6 hours on average)!

Escape… or lose yourself forever.
