How it feels

You navigate a cute, faceless avatar through a dreamlike 2D world, solving puzzles and fighting enemies while gradually gaining power-ups and abilities that encourage backtracking and exploration.

What players say

Players praise the creepy childlike art and music, but a pervasive bug where characters fall through floors and walls makes progress frustrating. Controls are awkward and cannot be remapped, and the game lacks controller support. It is short, about an hour, though opinions split on whether the challenge is fair or tedious.
