Quantum Conumdrum, the newest game from PORTAL co-creator Kim Swift and developer Airtight Games is now available on the PC for $14.99 USD thanks to Square Enix. Players can also purchase a Season Pass through Steam for USD$19.99, and get a downloadable Quantum Conundrum soundtrack and two future downloadable puzzle packs.
Mike Fischer, president and CEO of Square Enix had this to say on the announcement:
Quantum Conundrum is one of the most innovative, thought-provoking games of 2012 from one of the great designers of our industry. We’re proud to launch the next evolution of puzzle games and we’re anxious to see how gamers react.
In Quantum Conundrum, players take on the role of a young boy dropped off on his uncle’s doorstep for the weekend; his uncle just so happens to be the brilliant, eccentric inventor, Professor Fitz Quadwrangle. Upon entering the Professor’s vast manor home, retrofitted with crazy technology to test his latest hypotheses, players quickly realize their uncle has gone missing. Fortunately, players immediately find Professor Quadwrangle’s latest invention, the Inter-Dimensional Shift (IDS) Device, which, at the press of a button, can shift the world around them to a different dimension. In order to find their uncle, players use the IDS to dynamically alter between five dimensions and progress through bizarre and challenging rooms in the labyrinthine Quadwrangle Manor. Becoming adept at using the various dimensions – sometimes in combination – will be critical to solving puzzles and moving on to the next room.
