This game is like the Hardcore Version of Portal

This game is like the Hardcore Version of Portal. Where Portal is Funny, this game is Deep and Serious. Instead of Glados you have a God that is constantly telling you things and speaking with the authority of a really strict God. Instead of Weatley you have these Terminals that try to decypher, just like yourself what is going on, and sometimes you feel like you are talking to a real AI. There are Philosophic Exams that this game make to yourself, and you really discover a few things that you might not know about the Real You. The Plot is awesome. The texts, the recordings, the atmosphere, everything is on place. If you take too long on making a Puzzle, God will tell you that don't take things to seriously, that come back later, and then you feel like doing the exact opposite. You will end up reading and listening carefully to everything you find. If you like Puzzle games, this game is for you. And if you want a different experience of a game, this game might end up being really special for you.

Philosophy, A.I and the downfall of the human race

Philosophy, A.I and the downfall of the human race. Would totally question my existence, the nature of reality and my place in the universe again. 10/10. It's a puzzle game a bit like Portal, you use lasers and angles to power up doors and shutdown force fields to gather tetris like puzzle pieces while a over inflated ego (voice in the sky) thing talks to you like you're a child. It feels a bit like a university students project got out of control, sometimes it looks like it was rushed together and levels feel like development just stopped, but it didn't, it is all intentional.
