How it feels

A first-person platformer that feels like a lighthearted sci-fi puzzle, bouncing through space and alien landscapes with a quirky, atmospheric tone.

What players say

Players praise the art style and music but are split on the gameplay. Many find the platforming clunky, with delayed controls, no player shadow, and a frustrating opening spaceship sequence. The game is short, around 3 hours, and some note the lack of basic options like an invert Y-axis.
