Forgery: Before the Law (Study)

Forgery: Before the Law (Study) is a short 3D puzzle adventure inspired by Franz Kafka's The Gate of the Law. You push boxes through six stages to overcome obstacles and reach a gate, in an abstract inner world where reality and unreality intersect.

Abstract spaces

The stages include spaces reminiscent of surrealist paintings and settings that represent inner landscapes. Majestic classical music accompanies them. After each stage, words offer clues to the game's themes and the meaning of its spaces.

Six stages

The puzzles use simple box-pushing mechanics influenced by Sokoban, rather than complex or intricate systems. The estimated playtime is 30 minutes to 1 hour. Through repeatedly pushing boxes toward the gate, the game leaves you to find meaning in its quiet journey through an abstract space detached from everyday life.
