U.V.S. Nirmana is an engineering puzzle game from Coincidence, the creators of Kaizen: A Factory Story and the inventors of the Zach-like.
Set off on the Unreturning Void Ship Nirmana as it continues a journey of uncountable eons toward the edge of the universe. Stop by distant worlds and ancient civilizations, helping them as part of your pilgrimage with your companions, the Renunciants.
The U.V.S. Nirmana awaits.
Thirty Zach-like Puzzles to Master
Conduits, signals, and constraints must be brought into accordance with optimal patterns. Design pipe networks that route energy flows from the vega drive engine and other sources. Modify their behavior with the control matrix while minimizing flux.
A Medium-Difficulty Pilgrimage
Too easy is too easy. Too difficult is not rewarding. For those already experienced with previous “Zach-like” games, a complete journey will take roughly 4–6 hours.
Twelve Tools for Expedient Means
Tools include sensors, valves, multiplexers and more. Their skillful use will be necessary to assist the various life forms and civilizations that you will encounter along the way.
Custom Puzzles
Continue exploring state space beyond the missions of the U.V.S. Nirmana by designing your own puzzles and observing as others solve them.
Eternal Solitaire
A solitaire variant inspired by the traditional game Oware is included. Strategic play rewards insight into the future and an understanding of cause and effect.
Histograms and Leaderboards
Optimal solutions are their own reward, however, those interested in comparing their work to others can do so with these features.
