Gameplay

The player assumes control of the game's main character, who is locked in a mysterious room when their colleague goes for a bathroom break. A control panel is located in front of them, which, despite orders not to touch, they are expected to interact with to progress the game. The player must study the instructional poster in the room to figure out how to manipulate the panel, and different combinations of actions can unlock a large number of different endings.

Reception
The game received generally positive reviews according to Metacritic. Tyler Wilde of PC Gamer called it an "enjoyable little puzzle box" but noted that it was "not meaningful," wishing its narrative were more "interesting," similar to games such as Papers, Please or The Stanley Parable. Rob Rich of Gamezebo said the art style was "pleasant," but the puzzles were "obtuse," and there was "hardly any meat to the gameplay." Alysia Judge of Pocket Gamer UK awarded the iOS version the website's Silver Award, saying it presented "fun gameplay in a neat pixel art package." Jed Whitaker of Destructoid said the VR remake was a "steal" for the price and that it would make players "laugh and jump."
