Vaporum: Lockdown

The game is a prequel to Vaporum and takes place in an original steampunk setting.

Puzzles and exploration

You explore the tower, collect loot and customize your character while solving puzzles and dealing with hazards through interactive elements that test your wits and reflexes. Level-wide objectives contribute to the wider story: pieces of a solution to the main obstacle are spread across several levels.
