How it feels

A surreal, playful yet melancholy action RPG where you wander a mysterious land, collect capsule toys, and encounter tiny people discussing their missions amid circular storytelling.

What players say

Players describe this as a short, linear, surreal walking sim with collectible capsule toys and pot-breaking, made by the same developer as Space Funeral. Its intentionally chaotic visuals and harsh look split opinion: some find it a gorgeous psychedelic picture book, others say it feels too shallow and simple for the price.
