How it feels

A somber, minimalist puzzle-platformer where you carefully manage a limiting sword mechanic to navigate a cave while reflecting on farewell.

What players say

Players praise the charming puzzle-platforming as a worthwhile short experience, often finished within an hour. Many mention the sword throwing controls are tricky to master, with some finding them glitchy or uncomfortable. The minimalist story gets a shrug, but the challenge and fast pacing keep players engaged.
