How it feels
You play as a warrior returning to a mist-shrouded homeland, wielding a flaming sword to ignite the environment and fight through linear, puzzle-infused 2D levels.

What players say
Players praise the short but polished 2-3 hour action-platformer built around a fire mechanic that lights torches and fuels combat, with fluid movement and satisfying controls. Many note the price is too high for the length, recommending it on sale or for free, and some find the story and lore minimal.
