How it feels

A retro pixel adventure where you rewrite reality with developer tools to uncover a glitchy, cruel truth.

What players say

Players are a game developer who falls into their own creation. The puzzle-platformer tracks a karma system, with a choice to kill enemies or make them 'clock out' via clever environmental puzzles. A split exists: some find the movement stiff and the puzzle logic repetitive, while others praise the meta storytelling and retro filter options.
