How it feels

A lighthearted-dark stealth puzzle game where you sneak pixel-by-pixel through human villages, solving puzzles and absorbing skills by eating humans, all wrapped in a conspiratorial black-comedy tone.

What players say

Players describe this as a short puzzle-stealth game where you control Rumia through city screens, avoiding ninja for instant game over. The English is broken but the dark humor works, and fans appreciate the creative freedom. However, many complain about a very low save tolerance, forcing full replays of maps on death, and some frustrating puzzles that can block progress.
