Reporting from 1 source: Automaton.
Developer BusFactorOne announced Knode: Untangle & Connect, a physics-based puzzle game for PC (Steam) releasing September 12. Players untangle giant cables and plug them into matching racks across more than 12 stage types floating in the sea. Stages grow more complex as they clear, with multiple plug shapes and tangled cables. A shop terminal offers tools like flashlights, and an AI companion speaks over 140 lines of dialogue.
Players insert plugs at both ends of a giant cable into sockets on box-shaped racks, matching cable and rack colors. Some stages require matching plug shapes to sockets, and cables may be tangled together, forcing careful untangling one by one.
Terminals in stages act as shops, letting players boost jump power or buy tools such as flashlights for dark stages. Vending machines offer new cables, with details on their puzzle use still unknown.
An AI companion talks to the player during play, delivering more than 140 lines of dialogue that respond to player actions. After release, BusFactorOne plans a level editor and Steam Workshop integration.
