How it feels

A peaceful, melodic side-scroller where you move in sync with classical music, best enjoyed alone late at night with a coffee.

What players say

Players praise the cute art and music that syncs with the platforming, where moving backward rewinds the track. The difficulty is gentle until a spike near the end, and a bonus stage is considered unfair with no reward. The story is delivered through comics and takes about 10 hours to fully clear.
