How it feels

You bend gravity with precise pushes and pulls while a calm ambient soundtrack keeps the puzzle-solving feel meditative.

What players say

Players praise the unique gravity-shifting mechanic that changes the world when you walk over edges. The puzzles start simple but get extremely hard, especially toward the end, with some punishing instant-death restarts. Opinions split on the story, ending and flirtatious NPCs, but most agree it is a satisfying brain exercise that sticks in your mind.
