How it feels

A contemplative and mysterious puzzle-platformer where you explore a beautiful, hand-drawn steampunk world by manipulating magnetism and electricity at your own pace.

What players say

Players love the hand-drawn art and lore-through-exploration approach, but are divided by its frustrations. The one-hit-kill boss mechanic and floaty, slippery movement turn many off, and the map lacks zoom or markers, making navigation feel punishing.
