Overview
Description

InFlux puts you in control of a sleek metal sphere that falls onto an abandoned island filled with striking glass and steel structures. As you roll through natural and abstract environments, each glasshouse presents a unique puzzle that blends platforming with thoughtful exploration. The game’s minimalist narrative and atmospheric visuals create a contemplative experience, inviting players to uncover the secrets of the island at their own pace. Single‑player focused, it offers a serene yet challenging journey for puzzle lovers.

Vessel follows Arkwright, a brilliant inventor who can bring ordinary matter to life. As his creations run amok, players must use this power to restore order in a world overrun by living liquid machines.\n\nThe game blends platforming, puzzle solving, and strategic action within a fantastical indie setting, offering a single‑player experience across PlayStation 3, Linux, and PC.
