How it feels
A linear 2D action game blending adorable aesthetics with tense forest exploration and bullet-dodging gunplay.

What players say
Players are split: some enjoy the creepy atmosphere and old-school platforming, while others call it an asset flip with clunky controls and no audio. The game is very short, about 2 hours for 20 levels, and controller support has been added but is still finicky.
