Gustav Kirchhoff is annoyed because nobody appreciates his circuit laws! You get transported to his secret lair and wont be able to get out until you show mastery! The first-person game "Kirchhoffs Revenge" teaches the basic concepts of electrical circuits; players need to solve puzzles by assembling macroscopic circuit elements such as batteries light bulbs wires volt meters and ampere meters. These circuit elements snap together into functional three-dimensional structures. Moving "charges" are indicated so as opposed to real circuit elements currents are visible. Puzzles increase in difficulty and complexity while side rooms and pre-assembled circuits offer opportunities to learn new concepts. Game play is strictly based on solving puzzles there are no dexterity or timed challenges. Once players succeed they actually get a Schwarzwälderkirschtorte which they may dispose off as they see fit. The cake is not a lie. The game has been used in physics courses at the high school and introductory college level and it is now made available as Early Access to the wider community.
