Ranked from 10 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
It fits in two ways:
Literal - The player is trapped inside QuanTech's latest creation, the Lab-In-A-Box. The primary objective is to escape said box.
Figurative: The game makes use of mind-bending mechanics including portals, quantum-entangled objects, and more. The player will have to think outside the box to escape.

Very portal inspired! I would've preferred if it had a bit more sauce to the story, but it works. Good job!

Really like mind bending puzzle games so I'm biased here but this is great! Loved playing it, really really good. There's a lack of sound effects and the player is a bit hard to control at times but other than that I don't have anything to say, great job!

Wow, this game is brilliant! The mechanics are super clever, especially how the portals and quantum objects make you think in completely new ways. It really nails the “outside the box” theme, both literally and figuratively.

I loved how seamless the puzzles feel—the flow keeps you engaged without ever feeling repetitive. The visuals and audio also do a great job of supporting the experience.

Only tiny nitpick: a few puzzles took me a while to wrap my head around, but that’s also part of the fun!

Really solid work, and I can totally see this standing out in the jam. Definitely a game I’ll be thinking about even after finishing it.

Thanks for playing. We have been talking about fleshing out the game more after the jam. I'll let you know it goes anywhere.

Thanks for playing! Our main inspirations were Portal and The Stanley Parable. We tried to put a little of each into our game.

If you don't want to download the PC version, there is a web version available here. It is the same game, but some features like reflections don't work on the web, so it won't look as nice.
