How it feels

A quiet, contemplative puzzle game where you draw tools like bridges and hammers to guide a lone traveler through handcrafted 2D scenes.

What players say

Players are split on Sumeru. Many praise its hand-drawn art and relaxing atmosphere, but a vocal group finds the puzzles frustrating and the drawing controls imprecise, especially in later levels where pixel-perfect solutions are required.
