How it feels

A reflective, magic-infused adventure through a mind-altering realm with a focus on confronting personal memories.

What players say

Players praise the charming pixel art and engaging story, but the combat is polarizing: some find it intuitive and fluid while one reviewer says it is broken and punishing. The game starts easy but grows significantly harder, especially in boss fights. It is packed with pop-culture references and secrets, and the developer is responsive to feedback.
