How it feels

A brief, surreal and eerie walk through a pixelated forest guided by an unusual microwave-based control scheme.

What players say

Players praise the ingenious microwave-based controls for creating tension and a sense of helplessness, but note the game is very short and the novelty carries the experience. Reviews split on whether the controls are clever or annoying, though most agree they are the core of the gameplay.
