Description

Wired is a puzzle-platformer where all the puzzles are built on a realistic physical model of electricity. This means that by playing the game, you will also learn how electricity works.

You mean....it's an educational game?

Yes! Abso-damn-lutley it is! You will learn things that are not normally encountered until A-Level physics - but no prior knowledge is necessary and you won't have to solve any equations or even get out of bed.

You play a young woman who finds herself trapped in a derelict building that has remained untouched since the 1970s. Climbing ever higher through the building to keep an appointment with a mysterious professor who lives at the top, she must wire up the fuel-cells through switches to the doors and rising platforms to get out.

Wired is a full length game taking between 3 and 6 hours to complete.
