If you enjoy Myst-adjacent high concept atmosphere-heavy exploration with observation, pattern recognition and tetrominos puzzles (and gunpla references) look no further, it’s a cool one to dig through!

To find your way through the disturbing maze of Looking for Fael, you'll need a very specific breadcrumb trail 🥖 Use your Game Leaf, solve weirdly familiar puzzles, and activate mysterious beacons to unlock new rooms… and new dimensions 👀

Fael is missing. Your roommate just vanished, and the only clues? Puzzles. Lots of them. In Looking for Fael, logic bends, physics glitches, and reality rewrites itself. Can you outsmart the impossible… armed with a retro console?
