How it feels

A lonely, fog-shrouded walk through a surreal forest where puzzles unfold in a quiet, dreamlike haze.

What players say

Players call it a short, free point-and-click about loss where you control a cartoon dog in a spooky forest. The puzzles can be illogical and the movement slow, but the emotional ending makes many cry.
