How it feels

A gentle, whimsical puzzle adventure through a storybook world where you uncover hidden patterns by shifting perspective.

What players say

Players like the diorama-based puzzle idea and the hidden ending, but many find the puzzles illogical and the item placement too finicky. The story ends abruptly without a boss fight, and the hidden ending is a letdown. Complaints focus on a missing save system, poor translation, and performance issues that force a second playthrough for all achievements.
