How it feels

A fast-paced platformer that feels like playing through a child's imaginative escape, blending lighthearted toy-based action with a gently introspective emotional journey.

What players say

A short, student-made platformer that plays in 20 to 30 minutes. Players are split: some enjoy the creepy atmosphere and dark themes of childhood trauma, while others point to frequent bugs, missing achievements, and the lack of a save option as dealbreakers.
