How it feels

A quiet, contemplative puzzle-platformer where you move through a dark, silhouetted world guided by fireflies, solving runic riddles and uncovering memories.

What players say

Players praise the relaxing music and art style but split on the gameplay: some find it simple and hard, others say the controls are clunky, the puzzles feel random, and the game can bug out with overlapping tutorial messages or softlocks. Several report the story seems unfinished.
