How it feels

A lighthearted and nostalgic stealth adventure through a pixelated computer world, mixing playful mischief with small emotional discoveries.

What players say

Players praise the tight controls and clever puzzles but call out finicky dash inputs and punishing checkpoint spacing that sends you back far. The story is unusually solemn and heartfelt for a platformer, with a strong soundtrack, though the 1980s smartphone anachronism throws some people off.
