Quickly, this is a really disorienting puzzle game. It gave me motion sickness. I tried to play twice. The first time, I made it like 30 minutes, but I didn't recognize the dullness behind my eyes and the yawning (which happens either when I'm tired, bored, or about to barf) as motion sickness. I thought I was just tired. Then yesterday, I sat down to play and started feeling sick within like 10 minutes and retrospectively interpreted the other day's symptoms as motion sickness. I went to YouTube to see more of the game, and felt even worse watching the YouTube video. Blech.
The handful of puzzles I did solve were mind-bending. You shift gravity by pressing spacebar. Doing so basically rotates the world around you by 90 degrees, so you can "run up" walls, change gravity again to get on the ceiling, and so on. There are all these cubes and switches, and it seems like you're really trying to navigate Escher-esque structures and figure out how to get cubes in the right places to open doors. I'm not sure I would have stuck with it anyway, or if I'm just interpreting it more negatively because of how I felt. But it seemed really hard, and the lack of narrative was turning me off. Also, puzzle games after work are not necessarily the best idea.
