About
“Do you really believe the moon isn’t there when you’re not looking?”
This famous quote, often attributed to Einstein, questions the strange nature of quantum mechanics. Inspired by this idea, CASSETTE BOY is a puzzle action RPG set in a world where things cease to exist when they can’t be seen.
Explore this mysterious world, confront its bizarre puzzles and creatures, and manipulate “existence” itself to uncover the truth!
Twist and Rotate the World
At first glance, CASSETTE BOY looks like a simple pixel-art game. But there’s much more beneath the surface. What appears to be a 2D world is actually 3D, and what is visible (or not) can be changed by rotating the world.
To solve puzzles, you’ll need to twist and rotate the map to change your perspective. For example, if something is hidden behind a wall and can’t be seen, it simply doesn’t exist. You’ll advance the game by hiding obstacles out of sight or revealing secret paths.
But this is more than just a puzzle game. You’ll also collect weapons, and battle monsters and bosses.
Choose What Exists With the “SchroDinger System”
The state of matter is only defined once you observe it.
In CASSETTE BOY, the “SchroDinger System” ensures that anything you can’t see simply doesn’t exist. That person you just spoke to? The switch you were about to press? If they leave the screen, they’re gone.
Ordinary camera movement becomes the key to solving mind-bending puzzles.
