Pertinence description

Pertinence is a top-down adventure set across rooms arranged in a grid. Explore its puzzle and action areas, collecting alloy to unlock new areas and abilities. The game offers little instruction, and its layout lets you choose which areas to tackle as you progress; collecting every piece of alloy is not required.

The game includes more than 50 rooms, some with secrets, and an endgame boss. Alloy is only retained when brought to a checkpoint unharmed, so collecting it involves managing that risk. A map shows visited and missed rooms, and fast travel is available back to certain rooms.

Gameplay and features

  • Manipulate walls and Nodes: Bend and warp soft walls, and use Nodes to move distortion fields. As new abilities are gained, Nodes can be rotated, dragged or thrown, with the available actions depending on whether a Node is normal, locked or static.
  • Solve hazards and room puzzles: Puzzle challenges include avoiding or baiting a monster, navigating moving hazards, turrets, explosions and lasers, and rotating rooms around pivots. Some rooms change when approached from different directions; keys and bouncing-ball keys can be guided to locked doors.
