How it feels

a bleakly comedic puzzle-platformer where running a dystopian reality show feels like a tense, absurdist satire

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and dystopian story, but they are near unanimous that the controls are sluggish and frustrating. Platforming requires precise facing and animations cannot be canceled, making movement feel unresponsive. Reviews say the game has multiple endings and around eight hours of content.
