What players say

Players praise the tight controls and shadow mechanic, which force memorization. The game is hard but fair, with each level introducing a new mechanic. The story about heartbreak and depression connects directly to the developer's life, unlocked mainly at the end. Some find the poetry and cutscenes mediocre, and a few report minor bugs or uneven difficulty spikes.
