Duvet

About

Duvet is a puzzle-driven adventure game set in a bleak sci-fi world where government agencies weaponize magical girls. You play a field agent investigating a sealed-off city after a mysterious incident. The gameplay loops between exploring environments, solving logic-based puzzles, and uncovering fragments of a twisted history. Each level locks behind environmental riddles that require spatial reasoning and pattern recognition. The tone balances cold bureaucratic dialogue with surreal imagery of militarized child soldiers. The game’s standout is its unsettling concept: a dystopian fusion of Soviet-era sci-fi and magical girl tropes. Developer Ephemera Games weaves a sparse but provocative narrative about ethical decay and systemic exploitation. With puzzles rated challenging by most players and a runtime of around three hours, it’s a niche title that leans heavily into thematic atmosphere over polished mechanics. Released in 2020, it remains a cult pick for fans of abstract storytelling and experimental game design.

Storyline

One year after the turn of the millenia, the soviet space program launched its third man-manned mission to the moon. Unknown to them at the time, the pilot code-named “Strangelove” was eight months away from becoming a mother. This baby who had a 6 month exposure to the lunar material was the first “Magical Girl” as nicknamed by the public. Almost 40 years later, the forced exposure of pregnant women to rocks from the moon became the new arms race. These newly born babies became part of the private or military sector, according to their powers. But there was a catch: only creatures of the XX genoma could survive the experiment, and no “Magical Girl” lived past 23 years. 72 hours after the last contact with the walled city of Kowloon. Nearby eye witnesses reported flashing red lights before the silence, local security forces refused to enter the perimeter and the buildings in the proximity have been evacuated. The Kingdom of China has decided on dispatching its Magical Cases Unit agent on the Southernmost part of the building complex.
