Unobelisk

About

Unobelisk is a turn based exploration game where you navigate a towering alien structure as Uno, a metallic entity with fragmented memories. You collect resources and solve puzzles to progress upward, balancing limited tools and energy. Each floor is a maze of corridors and dead ends that force careful planning. The design echoes retro survival games but focuses on logic over combat, with environmental storytelling hidden in cryptic files and visual cues. The game’s moody, claustrophobic atmosphere and tight level design stand out. Players often cite the satisfying but not frustrating puzzle difficulty and the way backtracking reveals new paths. While short at around six hours, the Metacritic score of 78 and Steam reviews note its strong sense of discovery. The minimalist approach to story and gameplay leaves room for interpretation, making each step toward the top feel earned.

Storyline

Uno, a newborn lifeform composed of dense steel, buzzy circuits and disjointed, static memories, wakes up, looking through a frosted cerulean ceiling. On its inside drive, weird images, and a text file with instructions. The Subject's test has begun. Meet me at the top of the Obelisk.
