How it feels
A slow, meditative climb through a shadowy afterlife realm, controlling a small cat with precise, floaty jumps and strange animal transformations.

What players say
Players call it a short, forgiving only-up style platformer where you climb a tower as a winged cat. Checkpoints keep frustration low, and the four transformable forms each stay useful. The story gets described as silly but surprisingly emotional, with a heartwarming ending.
