Invertigo
INVERTIGO is a science-fiction single player puzzler where you’ll have to use creative outside-the-box thinking to discover your fate. Explore the abandoned facility and make use of gravity manipulation to advance through the rooms. This free demo version of the game contains 6 fully-fledged levels.
25 unique puzzles that increase in difficulty
As the game progresses you get to unlock new gravity modes that allow you to overcome new challenges. Nearly every puzzle has a unique twist to it that distinguishes it from the other puzzles, so this will keep you thinking!
Solve puzzles, by changing gravity
Manipulating gravity with three tools (gravity shift, gravity link, gravity hold) adds an innovative dimension to the puzzle solving. The puzzles require you to think in several dimensions and the multiple possible solutions allow for creativity.
Fix the rooms to advance
To progress to new areas the player must restore the power by placing the energy cubes on the pressure plates to fix the electricity supply to the room.
A robotic suit to keep you company
You might be alone in this facility, but luckily your talking robotic suit can keep you company.
Don’t worry, the suit will be sure you give you very useful (as well as some less useful) feedback and advice.
Piece together the story
Collect anomalies and data logs to learn more about the history of the deserted facility.
Online leaderboards

Cool Portal-esque indie game. After some quick fixes by the dev, the game now runs just fine on Steam Deck! (Medium settings, 800p, 30-40FPS)

Invertigo is a great game with some nice portal vibes. Changing of the gravity is a cool mechanic (although sometimes rather disorienting) and this makes for a nice puzzle game, trying to put together where you should but certain items to have them land in the right place when gravity changes.
The speedrun potential of the game is also quite nice, at least for the shorter levels (Curse you, training parkour 2!), and the in-game leaderboard makes you keep trying to improve your time.
One thing I would change is to make the x-ray vision able to be on by default as a setting.
Overall this is a great game that I would definetely recommend if you like puzzle games!

Pretty great indie puzzler. I can't say I have played anything quite like it. I played the demo and quite liked it pretty happy to see that the quality in the full release is even higher. It did give me some portal vibes, its sort of portal without portals if that makes any sense. What I mean with that is that you go from room to room solving a puzzle while an AI sidekick is keeping you company.
There is a nice progression of difficulty, relaxed soundtrack that reminds me of some of my favourite space movies. Dialogue and story is serviceable. Puzzles are quite smart and definitely steal the show. It also has leaderboards and some crazy times on there that I'm not even going to attempt to beat. It also has some secrets which I did not expect in this type of title, very nice all in all

fun but pretty laggy and hard to get good times on certain levels due to the lag (4060, 5 5600x, 64gb ram, downloaded on ssd)

As a gamer/speedrunner who (mainly) plays/runs puzzle games, this is a phenomenal game! It has a bunch of awesome puzzles, great VA, and a nice mix of Portal and Manifold Garden vibes, and I LOVE it!
The in-game leaderboards also provide a nice challenge: not only beating the levels faster, but with fewer gravity changes if those kinds of challenges interest you. (like me!)
Also, “Temperature range exceeded. Use a Battery to activate the Cooling System!”

Invertigo is such a breath of fresh air. The gravity mechanic works beautifully, and is integrated really well into the game's puzzles. As someone who isn't usually much for speed running, the timer was a fun motivator to come back and try to do better runs after figuring out each level. Getting a few bonus puzzles after finishing the campaign was also a pleasant surprise!
If you're looking for a refreshing puzzle game, this one is absolutely worth the money. Also make sure you poke the cubes on the main menu for a little something extra!
