A slow-paced puzzler where you gently reverse time to guide a little girl through obstacles, feeling calm and contemplative.

What players say

Players describe a short, relaxing puzzle game that can be finished in about 30 minutes. The time rewind mechanic is the main hook, and levels are simple but well-designed. Some find the art style reminiscent of Monument Valley, while a few note the player animation looks janky. Reviews agree it is worth the low price, but the 12-20 levels leave some wanting more.
