How it feels

A thoughtful, slow-paced puzzle-platformer about perseverance against discouragement, with a gentle, melancholic tone and pixel-art fantasy visuals.

What players say

Players praise the bullying-themed story as heartfelt and meaningful, but many note the game is very short at around one to two hours. Opinions split on the platforming and puzzles: some find them solid and relaxing, while others feel the level design is frustrating and the platforming sections are unnecessarily difficult.
