How it feels

Exploring a dim hand-drawn world with precise platforming and a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and moody atmosphere, but say the game is short, easy, and feels like a demo. The grapple and dash mechanics are interesting but unpolished. Multiple reviewers compare it to Ori and Hollow Knight, and note there are no puzzles, bosses, or clear story.
