How it feels

What players say

Players describe it as a budget indie that combines souls-like combat with old-school platforming and puzzles, but many say it is buggy, short, and lacks polish. Opinions split: some find the mechanics tedious and the controls unresponsive, while others enjoy the challenge and the creative sci-fi take on Journey to the West.
