About the Game

You awaken as an AI with a damaged memory chip. To understand your purpose and uncover the dangers threatening your world, you must repair your glitched visual algorithms by solving intricate logic puzzles.

FEATURES:

  • A Captivating Sci-Fi Mystery: Guide the main protagonist on a journey of self-discovery through a story-rich visual novel.

  • 50+ Handcrafted Nonogram Puzzles: Every puzzle is logically solvable with no guessing required. Challenge your mind with a variety of grid sizes and complexities.

  • See the Story Unfold: Each solved nonogram reveals a new object or piece of the environment, directly integrating the puzzles into the narrative.

  • Intuitive Controls & Relaxing Gameplay: Features a clean interface, satisfying controls, and a "no-pressure" atmosphere perfect for puzzle lovers of all skill levels.

  • Meet a Cast of Unique Characters: Interact with other robots and entities as you piece together the truth behind RoboCorp.

Learn about the world of Opus Cortex: RoboCorp is the big corporation that manufactures robots and microchips, but things don't go as planned.

Solve the nonogram puzzles with intuitive controls that allow you to mark the correct and invalid squares and mark multiple cells in a row. The hints will also change if the requirements for given line are met, although that does not mean that the line is correct. Only when all rows and columns turn green the puzzle is truly solved!

Explore different locations and solve non-standard nonogram sizes.

If you love logic puzzles like Picross and enjoy story-driven games like Ace Attorney or VA-11 Hall-A, you will feel right at home in the world of Opus Cortex.
