Folders instead of rooms
Every folder is a place in the story. Open new paths, backtrack when you need to, and slowly reveal the shape of each world.
Inspect people and things
Look closer at entities and objects in every folder to learn the details you'll need later.
Inventory & combinations
Collect what you find, combine items with each other, and use them to unlock codes, locks, and new paths.
Multiple endings & achievements
Every world has more than one ending. Play it again, make different choices, and unlock new achievements.
