About the Game

>A_WINDOW-STACKING_PUZZLE_ADVENTURE_AWAITS

A peculiar virus has taken root at the heart of the Tabula CS-1, a computer system that was lost to time. Alongside Little Bit, a newly-installed anti-virus, you are tasked with freeing the computer from the malware's clutches.

>THE_CONUNDRUM_SYSTEM

Each level in Tabula is comprised of a set of traversable computer windows. Rearrange and layer the windows to create a path, so that Little Bit can reach and activate the level's checkpoints. Activate all checkpoints to open a portal to the end of the level!

>PLAY_YOUR_WAY

Each level in Tabula is designed for multiple solutions - some intended by us, and many more invented by you! Find your own way to play and have fun experimenting with the game's diverse toybox of mechanics and conundrums.

Finding a puzzle too difficult? No problem! You don't have to beat every level to progress. Just like the puzzles, you can progress in your own unique path, so pick and choose the puzzles that really speak to you.

>A_CHARMING_CYBERSCAPE

Just like a real desktop, Tabula has plenty of applications to check out, mess around with, and customise your experience. Dive into the history of the computer by investigating some emails, browse behind the scenes artwork in the photo gallery, or try out some of the mini-games that came packaged with the OS - the choice is yours!

>STRIVE_FOR_GOLD_RANK

Revisit puzzles to optimise your solutions and achieve gold rank! Activate every checkpoint as fast as you can in a bout for the crown!
