About Project: Another Use - Graftage
Graftage is an adventure simulator set in a solarpunk-themed office building trapped by a rogue AI. Developed by Vagus Truman, it released in October 2025 as a single-player PC game. You play as a hacker solving puzzles to free trapped workers while battling a virus that rewires systems in real time. The setting blends corporate dystopia with eco-futurist aesthetics, where every terminal you breach reveals more about the building’s corrupted logic. It’s a brainy, minimalist experience focused on strategic problem solving within strict time limits. Ideal for players who enjoy methodical challenges and don’t mind a lack of combat.
Gameplay
Each level drops you into a digitized office environment where you manipulate code fragments to disable the virus’s defenses. Puzzles involve rearranging logic gates, timing power surges, and rerouting data streams, all while a countdown forces you to optimize moves. You can’t save mid-puzzle, so trial and error is costly. Sessions feel tense but rewarding, with each success unlocking more of the building’s history through environmental storytelling. Controls are keyboard/mouse only, with a clean UI that emphasizes function over flair. The single campaign spans 20+ levels, each with unique constraints like limited tools or cascading system failures. No multiplayer or grinding, just pure puzzle focus.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate it 4.2/5, with 8.5 average critic score. 65% of players complete the main story, averaging 12.3 hours. 72% report “frustrated but determined” as their mood, while 58% tag it “cerebral.” One review calls it “a masterclass in time-pressure design,” while another gripes about “opaque tutorial text.” Achievements include 30+ milestones, with 42% of players earning the “Perfect Runtime” title. The most common complaint? No pause button during puzzles. 89% recommend it for fans of logic games, but only 41% suggest it to casual players.
PlayPile's Take
Graftage is a niche but polished puzzle game best suited for those who enjoy systemic thinking over action. At $19.99, it offers solid value for its 15-hour average playtime, especially if you thrive on constrained problem solving. The lack of accessibility options might deter some, but its tight design and thematic coherence make it a standout in the sim-adventure space. Not for everyone, but essential if you’ve ever wanted to fight a virus with flowcharts.
