Perplex
Perplex3 is a single-player brain-teasing memory puzzle game. The game consists of a variety of puzzles/modules that require varying levels of imagination, strategy and resilience to complete. The concept of solving puzzle modules against the clock follows the core mechanics behind Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes (Steel Crate Games, 2021), with Perplex3 building upon this challenging base. The player is presented with individual puzzle blocks called queboids (contraction of question and cuboid). Each queboid is a cuboid container that houses an interactive puzzle interface on one or more faces, with the perpendicular faces being either empty or containing an airlock-door. Upon the completion of one of the puzzle faces, one or more of the airlock doors open, revealing either a protruding shape or a socket that said protruding shape can be inserted. Once revealed, the player will have a limited amount of time to determine whether or not they have a connecting module available or choose to memorise the configuration and locate the necessary piece. In order to complete a level, the player must complete the puzzles and connect the corresponding modules together in order to create a single, connected device.
