Abducted. Miniaturized. Trapped in a machine that turns your memories into a prison. PALINGENESIS is an immersive puzzle adventure where every environment reacts to the music, shifting and transforming with the pulse of an original 10-track album by GRIGS. Solve intricate challenges to escape the Human Wheel—a construct designed to keep you running while unknowingly generating energy for an alien fleet. Created entirely by animator and musician John Paul Grigsby, this game fuses reactive visuals, problem-solving, and a haunting sci-fi narrative into a one-of-a-kind experience. Will you break free, or will you become just another source of power? Listen to the album GRIGS PALINGENESIS wherever you stream your music.

I recomend that you try the game on a computer with the keyboard/ mouse or game controller, if you have a computer suitable to try it on. The quality is much better on a computer. I had to scale down the quality for the phone version so it wouldn't kill your phone.

Also, if you have a slower computer, I recommend making sure all other apps are closed. Also, on mac, it may help performance to scale down your monitor display before opening. You can scale it back up when you’re done.

The first time opening can take a little time.. Shouldn’t be too long though.
