How it feels

A somber puzzle-platformer where you manipulate time through blood, blending cute anime aesthetics with grim, atmospheric tension.

What players say

Players praise the beautiful art and implicit storytelling, but are split on the puzzle design. Some find the puzzles simple and repetitive, with slow movement, instant deaths from spikes, and trial-and-error gameplay that pads the length. Others appreciate the charm and enjoy the experience despite the frustrations.
