Now I Am There

An abandoned laboratory stirs back to life when a dormant robot resumes an experiment left unfinished years earlier. Now I Am There is a compact indie adventure built around escape-room puzzles, hazardous platforming, and a lonely sci-fi atmosphere. Each area reflects a different era of the facility’s history, turning the journey into more than a sequence of tests; it is also a search for what happened before the robot awoke. The tone is tense but thoughtful, with danger coming from collapsing routes, mechanical guards, and the consequences of one poorly timed teleport.

Progress depends on collecting and carefully spending teleportation crystals, which let the robot jump instantly to selected points in the environment. That limited resource turns ordinary movement into a planning problem: players use teleports to bypass obstacles, evade guard robots, reach distant switches, and survive demanding parkour sections before time or positioning works against them. Puzzles ask you to read rooms, spot routes, and decide when a crystal is worth using rather than simply handing out solutions. Hidden chambers provide achievements for thorough explorers, while chapter completion times feed into a world ranking system for players who want to replay stages and compete for faster clears.

Teleportation is the standout idea here because it serves as traversal tool, defensive option, and puzzle currency at once. Rather than relying on combat, the game emphasizes awareness, agility, and efficient route planning, giving its robotic protagonist a vulnerable, methodical feel. The mix of environmental riddles and speed-oriented challenges makes it suitable for fans of atmospheric puzzle platformers such as Portal or The Talos Principle, though its focus is more on crystal management and precision movement. Newcomers can enjoy the story-driven exploration at their own pace, while completionists and time-trial players have reasons to revisit every chapter.
