Started this tonight and I'm enchanted:

7th Sector is a puzzle platformer which you play as a spark of electricity which can travel down wires, jump across electrical junctions, and get inside electronic devices to switch them on and control them. You can become static moving across a TV screen, music coming out of a gramophone, or the movement of a remote control car. The puzzles are pretty fiendish but satisfying once you work them out.

You do all this against a backdrop of a creepy, Cold War-era dystopia with a story that unfolds mainly through background details and shadowy figures glimpsed through doors. It's pretty gorgeous to look at.

I'm not far in yet but so far I agree with this review here:

Yes, it's not cheap for a short indie title, but it is a charming little gem of a game.
