How it feels
A cute but dark fantasy puzzle game where dying is the key to progress, with a relaxed turn-based pace and a darkly humorous tone.

What players say
Players solve puzzles by dying and using their own corpses as tools, a mechanic that sets it apart from typical block-pushers. The difficulty climbs steeply after the first world, though some find the controls imprecise and the lack of an undo frustrating. The narrative is text-free and light, leaving most reviewers indifferent.
