Main story length is about 2 hours, expanding to roughly 3 hours with extras and reaching 4 hours for a full completionist run. Replayability allows restarting with new puzzle solutions for fresh gameplay. Cross-platform support includes PC, Mac, iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch. It is Steam Deck Verified. The game was developed and published by Rusty Lake.
