✓ Like Grimhook, it's known for shooter, first-person shooting and puzzle design

≠ Its own twist: Metroidvania exploration, open world exploration and exploration and discovery, while skipping punishing difficulty

A first-person puzzle game structured like a metroidvania: a small sandbox where new tools retroactively open earlier areas, and almost every corner hides something. Puzzle design is genuinely clever. Combat is the weak part — enemies are simple damage sponges that interrupt the puzzling — and the art style is plain enough to look cheap.

The template for the genre: no reloading, no aiming up, movement so fast that circling is the main defensive skill. Level design is maze-like and built around secrets rather than corridors. Vertical aim does not exist, enemies cannot fight above or below you meaningfully, and the flatness takes adjustment for anyone raised on modern shooters.
