About the Game

Cognition Method is a story-driven first-person puzzle game inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey and Solaris. Manipulate gravity, navigate impossible spaces, and uncover the secrets of a surreal artifact beyond human understanding.

The year is 2085. Earth is gone, humanity survives on Mars. You are William Mortwood, an astronaut of the Martian Academy. A remote space station has gone silent after bringing a mysterious Artifact aboard. The crew vanished, and your son was among them. Now you must uncover the truth, face challenges that defy reason… and try not to lose yourself along the way.

Mind-Bending Puzzles

Master mechanics that twist gravity, space, and perception as you move through impossible structures. Each puzzle challenges not only your logic, but the way you understand the world around you. Approach each challenge from different angles to find your way forward.

Unsettling Atmosphere

Step into a place of vast, silent spaces, shifting architecture — a world that feels alien and inhuman, yet strangely intentional… and not entirely welcoming. Is the Artifact simply a structure, or something more?

The Human Story

What happened to those who entered the Artifact? And what part of the protagonist’s past refuses to let him go?

Through abandoned recordings and fragmented notes scattered across a space station, follow the traces of a vanished expedition and piece together a deeply personal story about curiosity and the limits of the human mind.

Two Worlds

Explore two contrasting environments: the space station is bright, vivid and human, filled with signs of life and the remains of the expedition. In contrast, the Artifact is cold and minimalistic, full of impossible geometry and silent corridors.

Find your way within a mysterious artifact and unveil a non-ordinary story.
