How it feels

You draw glyphs with your finger to swap between life and death realms, solving two layouts per room as you climb a mysterious tower.

What players say

Players praise the unique drawing-based spell casting and the mix of puzzle and action elements. The game is short, around 2 hours, with a story that explores death and resurrection in a philosophical way, often leaving players emotional by the end. Some note occasional frustration with spell input and the final battle, but overall the cute art, music, and character writing are consistently loved.
