How it feels

A quiet, contemplative space-photography game with a creeping sense of unease as you capture and print images of celestial objects from a lonely floating island.

What players say

Players praise the game's unsettling atmosphere and sharp log entries but are divided on bugs. Some say the bugs are minor or tolerable given the short runtime, while others report a game-breaking photo copier glitch that halts progress. The experience is very short, around 30 minutes, with multiple runs encouraged.
