What is Wired?

This puzzle-platformer takes place in a derelict building untouched since the 1970s, where you work toward an appointment with a mysterious professor at the top. Room by room, you connect switches, power sources, and machinery to solve increasingly complex electrical problems. Projector screens explain the mechanics and gradually reveal the story.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy applying physics concepts to logic puzzles
  • +you like a story unfolding between puzzle rooms

Not for you if...

  • −you want fast action rather than technical problem-solving
