About the Game

... I don’t know how I ended up here – maybe I just walked through the wrong door. But one thing I know for sure: this place shouldn’t exist. This is the Unplace.

At first it seems empty: I walk through room after room, and nothing happens. And then - as if the system switches on. I tried to run, but it became clear every time: I won’t be let go that easily. This place has one rule: face the trials.

 

You are trapped in an otherworldly place - the Unplace.
It wants to play with you in many different ways, even if the price of the game is your life.

  • Stay sharp

  • Uncover the nature of each trial

  • Some challenges test your reflexes, others your focus, and others still your dexterity and nerves

  • Every mistake costs you the entire path

Features:

  • A creeping, ever-building sense of tension

  • A wide range of unique and demanding challenges

  • A world that loops back on itself – unpredictable and constantly shifting
