About the game
You wake beneath the Antarctic ice in a research facility run by Norček Industries. Its director asks you and a partner to finish the work of a missing team. You search rooms, operate machines and piece together clues about experiments with time and gravity. One explorer makes blocks with a tool, while the other reaches distant switches with a different device.
You play as a pair online, often with a wall or a room between you. Describe the symbols and mechanisms you can see, listen to your partner and test a solution together. The campaign asks for patient conversation and close attention. You can return in the other role to see the puzzles from your partner’s side.
