As a contestant on the controversial reality show, you will control three unique characters—Dalek, Mia, and Keir—each with their own motivations and special gadgets. Your challenge is to navigate through deadly puzzles and manipulate gravity to survive and emerge victorious.

Millions across the Solar System tune in to witness the contestants' perilous journey as they attempt to outwit each other and escape with their lives.

The contestants in this season of Attractio are driven by different desires, but they all share the same goal: to win. Keir, a man from a humble background, seeks the grand monetary prize. Mia, a police officer from Mars, aims to claim the advanced technology prize. Dalek, a notorious criminal, competes to earn his freedom. Each contestant faces a unique set of puzzles, but to succeed, they must all use gravity-altering devices to manipulate their surroundings and avoid deadly traps.

The gameplay revolves around altering the direction of gravity, allowing players to rethink traditional physics and approach each challenge in creative ways. Whether you're navigating a room full of deadly hazards or solving complex puzzles, your ability to control gravity will be your greatest asset. With your imagination and quick reflexes, you'll tackle each puzzle from different angles and uncover numerous solutions to proceed.

The characters each have specific tools that cater to their individual strengths and allow them to manipulate gravity in different ways:

• Mia: A renowned detective from Mars, Mia is equipped with gravity boots that enable her to change her own gravity and avoid deadly traps. Her boots test her physical abilities as she navigates the most dangerous sections of Attractio.
• Keir: Hailing from one of the poorest regions in the Solar System, Keir wields the Shifter gun. This device allows him to alter the gravity direction of various objects within the environment, helping him solve puzzles and avoid deadly traps.
• Dalek: A ruthless criminal seeking redemption, Dalek uses both the gravity boots and Shifter gun to navigate the most complex rooms of Attractio. His goal is to survive and win his freedom.

Throughout the game, you'll uncover each contestant's controversial past, revealing the personal stakes that drive them to risk their lives in this high-stakes reality show.
