How it feels

A slow, hand-drawn puzzle-platformer with a surreal and unsettling atmosphere where melancholy and whimsy intertwine.

What players say

Players call this a short, emotionally heavy puzzle game about human trafficking, with a story that lingers and a strong anti-trafficking message. The puzzles are simple but the constant need to drag a stool frustrates some, while the ending's ironic twist earns praise.
