About This Game
A surreal puzzle-platformer where you bend gravity, rewind time, and disrupt a virtual prison built to contain you.
Detailed Description
“Awareness is the first step to escape.”
Soft(A)ware is a surreal puzzle-platformer set inside a vast, hostile system. You awaken in a virtual world that functions as a prison — a place designed to limit, to control, to erase any trace of freedom.
But you are not helpless. By disrupting the rules of this world, you can bend gravity, rewind time, and outwit the constructs hunting you. Each challenge is both a puzzle to solve and a test of how far you’re willing to push against the system that holds you.
Key Features
Gravity-shifting traversal — walk on walls, ceilings, and impossible paths.
Time-rewind mechanics — undo mistakes, experiment freely, and master temporal puzzles.
Modular level design — hand-crafted challenges mixed with procedural variety.
Secrets and hidden pathways — rewards for exploration beyond the obvious.
A surreal digital atmosphere — discover a world of shifting constructs and quiet oppression.
Every action leaves a mark. Every choice destabilizes control. And every step brings you closer to understanding what — and who — is truly trapped.
Modes
The following modes are available (once unlocked):
Story
Story Plus (once the story has been completed once)
Endless (once tutorials are completed)
Story
Discover the story, learn the mechanics (and how to break them).
Abilities and new obstacles are slowly introduced as the game progresses.
Story Plus
Unlocked by finishing the story once, replay the story with all abilities.
Higher difficulty levels are available and certain events are already in effect.
Who knows, perhaps you could even discover a new ending?
Endless
Play endless generated levels until you fail, climb the leaderboards.
The more levels completed and the faster you complete a level, the higher your score.
There is no saving, there is no resetting to checkpoint. There are no checkpoints.
Keep going for as long as you can with infinite procedural level possibilities.
