How it feels

A methodical, contemplative platformer where you embody a sentient blade, weaving deliberate swordplay with environmental puzzles and a reflective tone.

What players say

Players praise the physics-based combat and unique controls as a fresh take on platforming, but many find the soundtrack monotonous and quickly muted. The game is short, around 2-3 hours, and impresses as a solo dev project, though combat with mouse requires adjusting sensitivity.
