Gameplay
Surprisingly, the game has no specific gameplay! Therefore, players are free to play however they like. A large amount of freedom afforded to players is fulfilling.
The gameplay takes the form of a first-person narrative. However, players can change the narrative to a third-person perspective. The environment of the game mainly consists of solid objects such as fluids, cubes and blocks, etc. There are various materials scattered throughout such as tree logs, dirt, stone, water, lava, etc. The basic gameplay is to collect these objects and attach them to form different elements. Players can also mine blocks and place them some other place so that they can build buildings. The game’s physics have been described as unrealistic by some people. However, it’s definitely worth a try.
