How it feels

A gentle, contemplative puzzle experience where you slide obstacles in a dreamlike isometric world, exploring a young girl's insomnia and anxiety.

What players say

Players praise the dual-sided puzzle mechanic and calm art style, but many note sluggish movement and controls built for a different genre. The story is intriguing yet slow with few answers, and long-time players say development has been abandoned for years.
