The premise of the game revolves around the exploration of an urban environment, where the protagonist must interact with different elements of the environment to solve puzzles and advance through the levels.

A distinctive feature is its “puzzle” mechanic based on connecting panels. Players must move and rotate panels representing different areas of the world, creating paths and connections for the character to advance.

This mechanic is not only ingenious, but also challenges players to think creatively and plan their moves.

The game's visual design is another of its strengths. With an art style that combines 2D graphics with a 3D environment, it offers a visually appealing and unique experience.

Vibrant colors and detailed scenery contribute to an immersive and enchanting environment.

As players progress, they encounter a variety of challenges and obstacles that require problem-solving skills and coordination.

The difficulty increases gradually, which maintains interest and excitement throughout the game.
