The Entropy Center introduces a compact, five-minute first-person puzzle demonstration on YouTube that draws clear comparisons to Portal. In this short gameplay segment, a protagonist named Aria awakens inside the bowels of a vast orbital station called the Entropy Center. Her mission follows a classic puzzle arc: reach the station’s core, unravel the station’s mysteries, and navigate a series of increasingly tricky riddles. The tone blends mystery with a sense of urgency as Aria faces environments that feel both grand in scale and intimate in danger.
A central feature of the experience is time manipulation. Aria wields a sentient tool, ASTRA, a talking firearm capable of altering the flow of time for objects within the environment. This device lets Aria restore damaged structures by rewinding recent events, reposition scattered debris, and unlock pathways that were previously blocked. The time-shift mechanic becomes the core mechanic by which players interact with the world, turning ruined ceilings into usable floors and transforming ruined rooms into solvable puzzles.
Developers have signaled that the game was planned for release within the current year, though an exact date had not been announced at the time of the preview. The Steam storefront page does confirm that the game is actively being prepared for launch, indicating ongoing progress and upcoming details for interested players.
Fans can view additional screenshots from The Entropy Center to gain a broader sense of the station’s design philosophy, the visual style, and the kinds of environmental puzzles that players will encounter. The project has been shaping up as a thoughtful, narrative-driven puzzle game that leans on clever time-based solutions and a distinctive gadgetry theme.
