How it feels

A cute but unforgiving puzzle game where each turn-based move in a procedurally generated forest feels like a delicate gamble against harsh randomness.

What players say

Players praise the charming visuals and emotional story, but many find the puzzle gameplay tedious and overly difficult. The procedural generation and cramped rooms make later levels frustrating, and the game has a 30 fps lock.
