You explore a surreal, dreamlike island world, solving puzzles and uncovering mysteries as the environment changes around you.

What players say

Players praise the art style but criticize puzzles as tedious fetch-quests and maze walking. Many call puzzles illogical, relying on trial and error rather than intellect, with complaint of backtracking and mandatory puzzles like a volume-setting puzzle. Controls feel janky to some. Playtime is 1-4 hours, and the timer mechanic is widely ignored or disabled.
