Check Out This Surreal Game Where Objects Stop Existing While Not Seen

Out of sight, out of mind.

Check out this unusual Unity-powered puzzle game, Object Impermanence, developed by Slugware, which plays with the idea that objects stop moving or even existing when you don't look at them.

The surreal journey is set on an alien planet with different physics patterns caused by the decaying reality. They may seem strange at first, but you can use them to your advantage. The objects there move when you look at them and stop when you don't. Some of them remain an obstacle only when they are in your sight, but when you don't see them, they become passable. Another anomaly is that things stay in their places when they are observed and return to their initial position when you turn away.

Thus, you can control what exists and what doesn't, as doors open, elevators move, and fans blow only when you see them. The mysterious ruins also hide traces of an ancient civilization, and while you progress, you uncover what happened to the last inhabitants. The only way out seems to be hidden in a tall tower beyond the horizon, which is untouched by the decay.
