How it feels
Exploring hand-built dream worlds at a deliberate pace, with a palpable sense of unease and quiet mystery.

What players say
Players praise the unique handcrafted clay art style and unsettling atmosphere, but split on pace: some find it slow and boring, others find the story and puzzles engaging enough to overlook the deliberate pace. Long chapters and a 24 fps cap are common complaints, and the lack of subtitles frustrates some.
