The new title certainly seems to draw a bit of influence from Swift's Portal days, albeit with a new, original art style and an all-new tool: a glove that allows you to shift into multiple different dimensions to solve puzzles contained in each level. The game puts you in the role of a youngster sent off to spend some time with their crazy inventor uncle, Professor Fitz Quadwrangle. Unsurprisingly, your visit is interrupted by something going terribly wrong, and you're forced to navigate his labyrinthine mansion using the glove and its dimension-shifting capabilities.

Each dimension affects how the gameplay of a puzzle works with the one shown in the demo changing the gravity to be 10 times lighter than normal as an extra twist for solving the puzzle.
Square-Enix was announced to be the publisher of the game with a release date expected around early 2012 for PC, PSN, and Xbox Live Arcade.
