How it feels

You carefully place each footstep through misty landscapes with physics-based controls, balancing calm exploration with the constant threat of a clumsy tumble.

What players say

Players are split between finding it hilarious and cringing at the dialogue, but most agree the gameplay is a rewarding challenge that can be skipped if you choose. Performance is solid and the physics are unpredictable, with one review calling out a notorious train section.
