PC gamers have been accustomed to the presence of physics in games since first launching a toilet at a Combine soldier's head with Half-Life 2's gravity gun. Yet while there are countless games that play with simulations of Newton's laws of motion, few games engage with physics as a subject or theme.
This is what separates Exographer from your typical physics-based puzzle platformer. Instead of being about swinging on ropes and pushing boxes around, Exographer bases its world and systems on the history and study of physics itself. Not just physics in general, either. Exographer is specifically about particle physics, the strangest, most enigmatic area of study in the field.
