Untangling hooks in the right order
Each level gives you a small knot of lines and hooks. Your job is to remove them all, which means figuring out which one is free to move and which ones are still caught on something else.
You click with the mouse, a hook slides out, and the rest of the tangle loosens. Pick wrong and the move fails, so later levels ask you to slow down and trace every overlap before you touch anything. New mechanics arrive as you go, and the knots get properly stubborn near the end.
It is a short game built for careful looking rather than quick thinking.
A calm board with no clock
There is no timer, no score, and no pressure to be clever fast. The board is plain and dark if you want it that way, the music stays soft and ambient, and a failed pull just resets the attempt.
That makes it easy to play in short stretches. You solve a few hooks, leave it alone, come back for a few more. The later puzzles demand more patience, so the calm presentation does some real work keeping the mood steady.
What should you know before playing?
How do the puzzles actually work?
You look at a tangle of hooks and remove them one at a time. A hook only comes out when nothing blocks it, so the puzzle is finding the safe order. Later levels add switches and different hook shapes that change what can move when.
How hard does it get?
It starts gentle and turns strict. Early levels teach the idea in a few moves, then the tangles grow denser and one wrong pull can undo your plan. The last stretch expects careful tracing rather than guessing.
