GET COMFORTABLE

Play your way.

Move with the arrow keys or WASD, wait with Space, undo with Backspace or Z, reset with R and ask for a hint with H. On-screen touch buttons cover the same actions.

You always have unlimited undo, cycle inspection and a four-step hint ladder: three written hints, then the full route. You can also highlight safe tiles and, once per room, hold one machine part still for a beat. Using any assist, or the full-route hint, costs you that room's mastery seal.
