How it feels

This is a lighthearted, whimsical action-adventure where you and a ghostly detective partner use a comically oversized magnifying glass to send demons packing.

What players say

Players praise the art and music but report a deeply broken game where core mechanics like possession and combat hitboxes fail, the camera jitters, and softlocks are common. Many feel it was not playtested.
