About CLeM
CLeM is a narrative puzzle adventure developed by Mango Protocol and published by Iceberg Interactive. It was released on Steam on 6 February 2024.
You wake up in a cold, dim room inside a house that feels oddly familiar. A notebook labelled CLeM, filled with sketches of insects and alchemical symbols, carries a single instruction, "Bring me BEAUTY", while a mysterious voice guides your steps. The studio calls its approach "Puzzlevania": puzzles and exploration are woven together, so each solved riddle opens new rooms, and crafted magic toys let you reach hidden spots and revisit familiar places in a new light. The art style is cute and hand-drawn, but the story of manipulation, pride and redemption has a distinctly dark edge.

Why Buy This Game?
CLeM is a good choice if you like puzzle games where the world itself is the puzzle. Rather than separate levels, the whole house slowly reveals its connections, rewarding careful observation and note-reading. Its gentle visuals make it approachable, while the unsettling story keeps you curious until the end. With modest requirements, full controller support and Steam Achievements and Trading Cards, it also fits relaxed evening sessions on a laptop or the TV.
