What players say
I have no clue what is going on or why but I enjoyed almost every moment of it. it speaks to me on an abstract level. its art and sound. that may sound pretentious but its really not. if you like raves you'll like this. if you can't figure out a puzzle you can usually brute force it with enough tries.

Wander around mysterious ruins, use your intuition to solve puzzles, make music. It's great.
This game has no words. Instead, its reality is made from sound crystallized into a solid form and sent through machines to create pure music. It's a fun experience for people who are deeply interested in synthesized music.
