Step into a surreal puzzle-platforming adventure as Barb, a young woman living as an NPC in an abandoned gameworld. Your beloved city of San Francisco is under threat from a sinister plot and it is up to you to save it with the help of a mysterious and powerful device: the Oscillator.

Master a ground-breaking “Copy and Paste” mechanic and manipulate the gameworld by applying the movement and physical traits of objects onto others. Give a table the bounce of a trampoline, send entire buildings across city blocks or turn solid walls into thin air!

Dive into an original video game world set in 1970’s San Francisco and save your city from greed and destruction! Use your Oscillator to solve ingenious puzzles, track down a dangerous gang of bikers with superpowers, and discover the origins of the mysterious glitch that threatens San Francisco.

Play as Barb, a young woman struggling to find her way in 1970s San Francisco. Become the main character you were never meant to be with the help of your friends Russell, Wanda, Jorge, and some unlikely allies!
