Overview

The player takes the role of Blue, an artificial intelligence that has fallen into disrepair. A guide character called the Caretaker leads Blue through a sequence of puzzles. Completing them repairs Blue's systems. The Steam listing places Blue as the guardian of a mountain machine and protector of the monkey monks who live there.

The Steam listing says the game uses its own interface for moving through and exploring the content. It marks the game as VR only, with tracked controller support and a single-player mode.
