Every room is a question. Every exit is another beginning. You arrive in a strange tower with one simple goal: find your way out. Move up, down, left, and right through 100 levels across five floors, where finding the path is only the start of the puzzle. LEARN THE TOWER Find keys, unlock doors, and discover how each room connects to the next. Portals change your route. Movable blocks and pressure plates demand careful planning. Coded doors, memory puzzles, breakable walls, and crumbling floors give you new reasons to stop, look, and think. FOLLOW THE CLUES Read Notes left by those who came before you. Piece together a story through exploration and discovery, one room at a time. Some answers open doors. Others leave you with more questions. A BIGGER PIXEL-ART ADVENTURE Explore five distinct floors with increasingly intricate mazes, new combinations of mechanics, and secrets tucked into the journey.
