Actually really nice. The concept could be expanded to a longer game, or even a series of games.

3D puzzle platformer. A gloomy prison tries to contain you...
Heavily inspired by the Halfquake Trilogy on Steam.
Fullscreen mode can make the game run laggy. If you have performance issues, disable fullscreen or try the downloadable Windows version on Itch.

Wow, color me surprised with this one! It may not make the best impression with its visuals and slight clunkiness, and while I do think that the story was a bit unsatisfying and it didn't quite push the camera concept as hard as I'd like it too (for example, some of the final challenges like the laser room can be beat too easily by just staying in the center when I would've loved if it pulled more perspective tricks), I found myself easily getting addicted to this due to its intriguing 9-camera perspective and its steady escalation of puzzles and mechanics. Basically, I think this is a pretty good example of the classic gameplay trumps graphics (and as much as I'm dissing the visuals, they still have some style and serve to evoke a rather mysterious mood). Quite the experience, and I guess I need to look up HalfQuake now...

Thanks a lot! I had trouble coming up with puzzle ideas that utilize the 9 camera concept. I specifically wanted levels that are not mazes, frustrating platformer challenges, or can be more understandable with 1 camera. I appreciate your review!
GREAT GAME i love the cool gameplay and everything
could have a secret tunel in the last room of the chapter "2. Turret" that could leave to another end because of the lack of light in the room and the [upper left, down left and right] cameras that aren't working (it's possible to see the rotating, uncentralized fans holder, rotatint out of bounds) leading to that, or to a easter egg idk i'm dumb
cool game and plot. the only thing that could have done was a puzzle level, that whitout the cameras, wouldn't be possible to pass, and only would have logic in the plot because the protagonist knew something that we would discover later
This game has a terrible camera... 10/10
