How it feels
A meditative first-person puzzle game where you listen to a comically self-obsessed narration while solving thoughtful, visually striking puzzles.

What players say
Players praise the perspective-based puzzles and the beautiful environments, but they are divided on the narrator's constant philosophical monologue, which some find amusing and others grating. The game is short, around 2 to 4 hours, and opinions on the story's depth and the puzzle difficulty are mixed, though the ending is widely called unique.
