About the Game

A hero, but alone, A magnet doll finds himself drawn into THE DARK SIDE WITHIN. Mr. Mag is a puzzle-adventure. Use magnetic power not to conquer, but to survive. To search. To remember what it means to be pulled—by something more than instinct. Mr.Mag is a magnet doll who lives in a kindergarten. Every day, he spends time with the kids, and because of his personality, he has become their favorite toy. He is so loved that they even made him a little room in the corner of the kindergarten, just for him. But Mr. Mag isn’t happy. Deep down, he feels he was made for something bigger. He dreams of being a hero, but he doesn’t believe he can be one. During the day, he sits quietly for the kids, but at night, he walks around, lost in his thoughts. He wants to change his life, but he’s scared to take the first step. One night, he finally makes a decision: he will run away from the kindergarten. On his journey, he meets THE DARK SIDE WITHIN —a place filled with his fears and sad memories.

Begin a journey where every step is a test of intelligence, reflex, and imagination. A world lies ahead of you, full of puzzles — puzzles that challenge your logic and demand great attention. At the same time, platforming sections require precise timing and quick reactions as you jump, climb, and make your way through dangerous landscapes. Throughout it all, there is a unique electromagnetic mechanic that you can use to solve puzzles and progress through the game.
