Step into The Vessel.
In The Vessel, you'll take control of two characters who must work together to reach the exit of each room. Both characters must arrive at each room's exit after solving a series of puzzles, creating a constantly evolving mind-bending experience where every movement and action matters. With carefully designed challenges, you must master timing, positioning, and strategy to overcome obstacles and uncover the mysteries of who they are and where they came from.
Across 150 puzzle-filled levels, you'll encounter a variety of mechanics designed to test their problem-solving skills, including blocks with different properties, timed doors, teleportation systems, and other interactive puzzle elements. Beyond its unique gameplay, The Vessel features a deep fantasy sci-fi narrative exploring themes of identity and self. Get ready to uncover a story brought to life through fully voiced dialogue from a range of characters, with multiple endings that offer different outcomes and encourage multiple playthroughs
