What players say
Players love the pixel art, music, and emotional story about a dog saving its owner, but they are split on the gameplay. Some find it a satisfying challenge, while others criticize the floaty controls, finicky fear mechanic, and say it feels like an early alpha. Nearly everyone calls it short, around 2--3 hours.
