A mysterious cube is placed in the center of the screen, and the player can rotate the camera to see the cube from different angles. Each side of the cube shows a different location, such as an old factory, a lighthouse, an amusement park, or a church. These are not 2D pictures attached to the surface of the cube. They are 3D landscapes shown within the cube, and the landscape happens to change depending on which side you\u2019re looking at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first glance, each landscape seems to be unrelated to each other, but they are actually intertwined and filled with unexpected connections. The puzzle revolves around finding these connections. For example, one side of the cube shows a construction site, and the adjacent side shows a children\u2019s room. If you look at them from the right angle, you can find a spot where a construction vehicle and a toy truck perfectly connect. In another scene, a painting hanging in a room is connected to the window frame of an abandoned building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have to use your imagination to find the right angle that would show the connections. There is also a guidance system to \u201chelp prevent players from getting stuck.\u201d You can use this system to highlight the key items or ask for text hints. If those aren\u2019t enough, you can even watch video walkthroughs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211013-178804-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211013-178804-001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211013-178804-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211013-178804-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211013-178804-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211013-178804-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211013-178804-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211013-178804-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211013-178804-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211013-178804-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211013-178804-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4078\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211013-178804-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211013-178804-002-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211013-178804-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211013-178804-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211013-178804-002-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211013-178804-002-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211013-178804-002-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211013-178804-002-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/20211013-178804-002-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When you solve the puzzle and find the connection, matching objects will start to move.
