How it feels

A short, atmospheric puzzle game with a poignant yet lighthearted narrative and handcrafted hexagonal challenges.

What players say

Players enjoy the tactile, hex-grid puzzle design and the way the game prevents frustration by letting you back up easily. The story is described as separate from the puzzles and not a main draw, and some note the game is short with bugged achievements.
