Description
Not your typical puzzle game.
《THE XEN》is a game about making 10 by combining numbers.
It sounds simple until your fingers are flying and your brain starts to heat up.
Numbers spread across a grid of platforms.
You scan them in seconds, make your move, complete a 10, gain time
and immediately push toward the next combo.
There’s less time than you think.
You’ll focus more than you expect.
And the feeling? It sticks with you longer than it should.
This game doesn’t test you.
It simply asks: "How fast can you make a decision?"
Are your eyes, hands, and mind moving in the same rhythm?
THE XEN peeks into what your “game sense” really looks like.
When you line up that perfect 10—fast, clean, almost instinctively
you’ll know exactly what I mean.
This is a game of records.
Every move you make becomes a score.
And your score?
It could set the standard for the next person.
Anyone can play.
Only a few will be great.
Can you be the one others are measured against?
It won’t take much time to find out.
But to face that moment, you’ll need one thing:
the courage to confront yourself exactly as you are.
How to Play
You can move and jump freely across the platforms.
Drag and connect numbers with your mouse to make a sum of 10.
Each successful combo adds more time, and you can only keep playing while time remains.
As platforms level up, they unlock stronger patterns and faster flows.
Supported languages: english, french, german, spanish - spain, russian, japanese, simplified chinese, traditional chinese, turkish, portuguese - brazil, polish, korean

User Reviews
I don't know what this is. I couldn't find a game. I think it's an art piece, and an extremely visually painful one at that. I tried twice to get through whatever this intro sequence is to find the game and gave up due to eye strain and nausea. No way to skip it or exit, I had to alt-tab out and quit from the Steam client. I regret spending even a dollar on this "game."
The opening segment is visually really really interesting and the story written for this is surprisingly captivating. Only issue is, I am not good enough to fully enjoy it. There is simply not enough time for me, an accesibility feature to slow down the gametime or increase timer length would be highly appreciated. The gravity should also be tweaked a little.
I would enjoy it more, if it was more relaxing because the visual elements are very nice.
