How it feels

A sprawling, contemplative journey through a crumbling digital world, blending methodical exploration with tense combat and the quiet mystery of emergent consciousness.

What players say

Players are split on this ambitious metroidvania. Many praise its story, art, and music, but they agree platforming and combat are frustrating, and unskippable dialogue with bugs drag it down.
