What players say
Players describe a short, emotional puzzle-platformer that uses its surreal world and the relationship between a boy and a monster as a metaphor for growing up with an alcoholic parent. Some find the monster sections frustrating, and several note it feels like a rough draft compared to ICO or Shadow of the Colossus.
