About the game

Your death is the best tool you have. Throw yourself into spikes, pile up your own bodies, and use your remains and your companion box to solve logic puzzles. Break the loop in a 1-bit paradox where you have to die to survive.

Original Steam description

DEATH IS THE ONLY WAY FORWARD

There are no Game Overs. When you die, your remains stay in the level. You must intentionally end your life to create bridges, block deadly lasers, and trigger door switches for your next incarnation. Combined with your companion box, you must plan your own demise to solve over 65 locked-room logic puzzles. Die on purpose. Solve the paradox.

MEET YOUR COMPANION BOX

You aren't in this loop alone. Throw, push, and manipulate your companion box to trigger mechanisms and bend the rules of the paradox. Who knows the secret it is hiding?

A MINIMALIST PARADOX

Explore a surreal, interconnected world presented in a striking retro aesthetic. Customize your experience by hunting down and unlocking 24 distinct 1-bit color palettes, from classic GameBoy green to intense neon contrasts.
