SUBTEXT
You've always been a reader; it's how you view the world. Find out what lies beyond the scene.
Subtext is a 2D top-down puzzle game built around the theme "We Don't See Things as They Are." On the surface, the physical world appears strictly bound by normal rules. Walls block your path and gaps trap you. However, by freezing time and entering "Subtext Mode," you strip away this visual facade to reveal the world's underlying code. In this metaphysical layer, you can see the literal metadata (tags) that govern how objects behave. By physically grabbing and swapping these hidden tags, you can fundamentally shift reality and bend the world to your will.
