How it feels
A short, story-driven 2D puzzle-platformer where you switch dimensions while exploring a dark, mysterious world as a wounded, fragile protagonist.

What players say
Players say the game is a very short puzzle-platformer with a dimension-shifting mechanic, completed in about an hour. It has decent pixel art but reuses assets too much, and the story fails to deliver. Many find it overpriced for its length, and there is a sudden difficulty spike near the end.
