About the Game

A single question stands amidst an absurd world.

This game is a 3D puzzle adventure exploring an inner world, inspired by Franz Kafka's timeless masterpiece, *The Gate of the Law*.

[Main Elements]

A simple puzzle game where you "push boxes."

A third-person puzzle game influenced by Sokoban.

Push boxes in the space to overcome obstacles and reach the "gate."

A spatial representation where reality and unreality intersect.

Diverse abstract spaces appear, including spaces reminiscent of surrealist paintings and stages that embody inner landscapes.

These are interwoven with majestic classical music, creating an immersive experience.

Dialogue connecting stages.

After clearing each stage, words that provide clues to the game's themes and the meaning of the spaces are displayed.

[Notes Before Purchase]

This game is not a puzzle game with complex and intricate mechanics.

This is a short game with an estimated playtime of 30 minutes to 1 hour (6 stages in total).

Through the simple repetition of "pushing boxes towards the gate," it offers an experimental experience designed to allow you to find meaning for yourself.

Please enjoy this quiet journey of thought in an abstract space detached from everyday life.
