How it feels

Swinging through abandoned labs with a responsive grappling hook feels like frantic, airy precision balanced against the lurking tension of a forgotten disaster.

What players say

Players praise the grappling hook physics and tight controls, but many warn the close camera makes platforming feel like trial and error. The game is widely considered very hard, with some comparing the checkpoints to Celeste and the visuals and story to Cave Story. Players are split on whether the difficulty is fair or frustrating.
