Try to guide your metal friend through a series of debris-strewn rooms using a variety of puzzling means of escape

Review

Melancholic clicker. 'You wake up for the first time in a dark room' - but, just for once, this isn't the start of a conventional room escaper, but the start of a slightly more Samorost-style series that also reminded us of Industrial Place Thingy.

There are only a few screens in this first episode, but they all convey a surprisingly sombre atmosphere – as you attempt to get your little metal chappie from room to room, through piles of debris and grimness.
