Screenshots

A tall white octagonal room with semitransparent pipes going horizontally and vertically through the room where black and white cubes are inside. Many electrons and a few cables are scattered through this place. There are some portals at the walls. A cuboid white room with a giant translucent pipe in the middle with white cubes inside. On the flat floor, two green cubic characters are looking at you. A dialog window where One asks: “What is this strange distortion?”. The player is facing a green cubic character in front of a glitchy-looking wall. One, a white cubic character, stands in the middle of a yellow tower-like structure, with many floating electrons. In a blueish room with an pitch-black abyss, a blue ramp-shape bridge leads to the center, where a collectable ability is surrounded by 4 mini towers.
