How it feels
A tense puzzle-platformer where your every move is mirrored by a deadly alien predator that you must keep alive but at a distance, while navigating a harsh alien environment.

What players say
Players describe a puzzle platformer where you control both a character and a mimic that copies your movements. The difficulty ramps up nicely, though some find the physics a bit janky and the movement floaty. Co-op is local only, and a few report crashes when alt-tabbing.
