Gordian

Taking inspiration from The Witness, Tunic, and many other great games, Gordian is a finely crafted puzzle game full of tricks and secrets.

Tie all 23 knots as tight as possible in order to learn about topology through the rule set Gordian uses to represent it.

Click to place rope, and then click circles to move it to adjacent tiles.

Level up by discovering new knots and tying them as tight as possible.

This game can be quite a challenge at times. If you find yourself overwhelmed, your brain tied into knots, just set the game down for a bit. Don't worry, it will save your progress.

Take your time. Before you know it your brain will be solving knots in the background and you'll come back with a whole new perspective.
