More about this game
Your goal is to repair an ancient vessel and escape the island. Navigate the map to discover ruin sites and solve puzzles to collect artifacts. The challenges alternate between memory tests, where you repeat patterns or find matching pairs, and logic puzzles like connecting pipes or directing light beams. As you progress, the sequences grow longer and the logic puzzles become more complex. The adventure ends when you collect all six artifacts, install the engine, and sail away.
Tips
- Memory sequences vary by stage. Some require repeating a pattern, while others ask you to find matching pairs or identify the changed symbol.
- For the mirror puzzle, trace the path of the light beam before rotating the mirrors to ensure it hits the receiver with the correct seal.
- Follow the dotted trail paths on the map. Walk to the footprint markers in the correct order to reveal hidden caches containing artifacts.
FAQ
- How do I solve the pipe puzzle?
- Tap the square tiles to rotate the pipe segments. Your goal is to create a continuous, unbroken path from the inlet arrow to the outlet arrow.
- What happens if I fail a puzzle?
- If you make a mistake during a memory challenge, a retry symbol will appear. The puzzle will then reset or replay the sequence so you can try again.
- How do I unlock new areas on the map?
- After collecting an artifact from a puzzle or cache, drag and drop it into the correct socket on the story screen to clear the path forward.
