The premise, in the publisher's words
Nebulous is a physics-based puzzle game where you must help guide Commander Dash Johnson, a trapped astronaut, through maze-like levels, seeking the next wormhole to his eventual freedom. Arrange the pieces so that when he falls, gravity guides him safely (and probably painfully) to the end!

What it launched against

Released around the same time: No Man's Sky, Persona 5, The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt - Complete Edition, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
