How it feels

A playful, physics-defying adventure where you gleefully embrace dark comedy while solving puzzles and building a cult to resurrect an ancient evil.

What players say

Players praise the puzzle design and humor, comparing it to Portal and Zelda, but note uneven visibility, a weak final act, and finicky throwing controls on controller. There is a split on the length and difficulty of puzzles: some say they are easy, others find some unintuitive. The game has been updated at least once to address boss fights.
