How it feels
A surreal, meditative exploration of a dreamlike inner world where puzzles and combat shift from illuminated and easygoing to dark and tense as difficulty increases.

What players say
Players love the atmosphere and music, but many find the platforming janky and the controls unresponsive. The game relies on darkness as a mechanic, which some find oppressive while others enjoy the challenge, and opinions split on whether it is relaxing or frustrating.
