How it feels
A tense, atmospheric puzzle-platformer where you play as a vulnerable child sneaking through a grotesque, dark world to survive.

What players say
Players praise the art direction, sound design, and story told without words, but consistently warn about finicky controls, unresponsive grabbing, and a save system that resets to the chapter start. The base game is a couple of hours long and often goes on sale, while the DLC has stability problems.
