What players say

Players are deeply split. Some enjoy the creepy pixel-art atmosphere and surreal story, but far more report game-breaking bugs, constant freezes, and being unable to progress past the first scene. Slow, unskippable dialogue and uncomfortable running mechanics also frustrate. The game is free but many say it feels abandoned with known bugs unfixed since 2021.
