About the Game

A news crew is abducted, Miniaturized and trapped in a machine that turns your memories into a prison. PALINGENESIS is an immersive puzzle adventure where environments react to the music, shifting and transforming with the pulse of an original 10-track album by GRIGS. Solve intricate challenges to escape the Human Wheel — a construct designed to keep you running while unknowingly generating energy for an alien fleet. Created entirely by acclaimed animator and musician John Paul Grigsby, this game fuses reactive visuals, problem-solving, and a haunting sci-fi narrative into a one-of-a-kind experience. Will you break free, or will you become just another source of power? Stream the album, PALINGENESIS wherever you listen to your music.
