About the Game

Metanoia is a short narrative-puzzle game about pushing and pulling shapes. Shapes interact in ways that reveal patterns, and those patterns will weave together as the puzzles become more complex. Along the way, you will learn that not all shapes are treated the same. If you are able, you will find out why, and perhaps help a shape along the way.

Features:

  • 24  levels designed for a 5-7 hour experience

  • A hint system to allow you to enjoy the game and story without feeling stuck. 

There are only two mechanics: 

  • Activate a shape - the filled in shape is activated, and can push and pull shapes attached to its sides.

  • Move a shape - only shapes attached to the activated shape can be moved

Different shapes provide introduce new utility, which increases both options and complexity.
