Our take on Causality

Rather than treating time as a backdrop, the game makes it the main puzzle control. Replaying events through past versions of the astronauts replaces the usual single-pass route-solving structure, while colour-matched exits provide each level's concrete objective.

What is Causality?

Manipulate time to change event sequences and outcomes across puzzle levels set in strange, alien landscapes.

Guide stranded astronauts to safety by sending each one to an exit matching its colour within a limited time frame. Past versions of the astronauts can be used to solve paradoxes and coordinate actions across different moments. A level ends when every astronaut reaches the correct exit. The game includes 60 levels and 13 achievements. Each puzzle represents a short, hazardous moment, combining time travel with route planning and character coordination.
