About the game
InFlux is a puzzle game that mixes exploration and platforming in a series of beautiful natural and abstract environments. You are a mysterious metal sphere which falls from the sky, traversing an apparently deserted island dotted with cubic structures of glass and steel.
Minimum specs
Minimum on the Steam store: 2 GB of memory, SM3-compatible video card, 2 GB of storage. Windows only.
The value story
50 discounts in the 13 years on record, a median of 50 percent off across all of them, roughly 9 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 69 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 78 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Pinstripe ($14.99, scores 49) and Spirit of the North 2 ($29.99, scores 54) both outscore it.
What players say
Tried focusing on work - this game dragged me into a dance of light and sound. Now my coffee changes color with each level. Best way to make my brain forget it's supposed to be serious.

What an absolutely fantastic wonderful little game. There's just something about this game, which warms the soul. Rolling around as a mysterious ball dropped from the sky, onto a magical deserted island, with puzzles that take place in an otherworldly dimension. The game is just really soothing and the phenomenal soundtrack amplifies the calming mysterious atmosphere of the game. Exploring as the metal sphere...
I enjoyed this relaxing game. I kicked my feet up and just enjoyed it. I played this game a while ago and recently decided to play through 'redux' and I rated that one poorly. I came back to give this one a thumbs up to be faIr.
