How it feels
a somber, often grueling puzzle-platformer where dismemberment and self-harm are tools for progress, wrapped in a melancholic story about recovery

What players say
Players praise the story's emotional weight and honest exploration of gender identity, but nearly all say the gameplay is clunky, slow, and frustrating. The self-harm mechanic is creative thematically and shocking visually, and the game is best played blind.
