What is NODE?

A 2.5D puzzle-platformer set in a decaying Soviet nuclear complex, where you guide an autonomous AI to avert catastrophe. You sequence jumps, switches, and dodges on a timeline, test your commands, and revise failed attempts, or take direct control in Platformer Mode. Branching conversations and hidden routes uncover the facility's history and a cosmic mystery.
