Firmament

What it is

Firmament is a single-player puzzle-adventure from Cyan Worlds set in a seemingly abandoned world. Players explore three Realms and use an Adjunct device to interact with mechanisms and solve puzzles. A mysterious apparition accompanies the player and has a story of her own, while the purpose of the Realms and the spirit’s trustworthiness remain questions to uncover. The game’s setting has a steampunk aesthetic and emphasizes exploration, world-building and environmental mysteries. Steam lists achievements, full controller support, tracked controller support, VR support and captions. DualShock and DualSense controller support are also listed. It is available on Windows and macOS, and Cyan Worlds is listed as both developer and publisher. Steam categorizes it as Adventure and Indie. Its description presents exploration, puzzle-solving and the unfolding story as connected parts of the experience, with the Adjunct serving as the tool for engaging with devices across the Realms.
