How it feels

a brief, contemplative top-down exploration where loneliness is conveyed through the silent, metaphorical movements of simple shapes.

What players say

Players describe it as a very short, minimalist metaphor for loneliness where other squares flee from you. Many find it deeply relatable, but some argue there is barely any gameplay and the positive reviews may be trolling. The experience takes only a minute or two.
