The object of the game is to penetrate a 30-corridor circular maze, break the code of the Genon computer - also known as the Brain - and escape from the maze with your life.

You are presented with a 3D view of the maze, with doors to your left and right, and a perspective view of the circular corridor ahead. Progress through the maze is hindered by two things.

First, the Brain opens and closes doors to slow you down, and second, a 'bogul' roams the maze looking for you. A bogul is a Pacman-like creature with a big nose who is there to protect the Brain.

Your only aid is your ESP, which allows you to find the door codes. But your ESP power fades as you approach the core, and each time you are caught and bogulized.

If you manage to reach corridor 31, you are confronted with the Genon computer and must break the code as practised. Time is critical, and while you are frantically tapping out numbers, the bogul is cloning itself to make your escape harder.

On your breaking the code, the computer is destroyed, but not before it revitalizes your ESP by giving you the knowledge of the universe.

The 3D graphics are up to New Generation's usual, high standard and the sound is also very well used. But I would say that the game lacks the sort of variation which has made games like Arcadia and Manic Miner such big hits.
