Seconds to Shift

Time is running out. Reality is split in two. To escape this strange place, you must bend the laws of physics.

Superposition is a 2D puzzle/thriller game based on time pressure and quantum mechanics, taking place across two parallel dimensions. You will find yourself trapped in a "Strange Place" where the rules are constantly changing. To survive and find the exit, you will need to manipulate both your line of sight and your physical form.

But beware: Time is your only currency.

TWO REALITIES, TWO RULESETS

Universe A (The Observer Effect): Quantum walls only solidify when you look at them. Hit a dead end? Turn your mouse, look away, and watch the wall become transparent. Your perspective dictates your reality.

Universe B (Schrödinger's Cat): Looking away won't help you here. To pass through walls, you must tear your own reality by pressing Space to enter the "Ghost" (Dead) form. While in ghost form, you can glide through walls but cannot interact with objects like doors or keys.

 A Heavy Price: Changing forms in Universe B isn't free. Shifting into a ghost and solidifying back costs exactly 5 seconds from your life timer! When your time runs out, the game mercilessly throws you into the other universe.
