How it feels
A contemplative point-and-click puzzle game with a meditative pace, rich in Chinese folklore and atmospheric pixel art that feels like stepping into an ink painting.

What players say
Players praise the time-rewinding mechanic and atmosphere, but note the puzzles are very easy or sometimes too abstract. The base game is short at 4 to 5 hours, and the DLC is seen as weaker. Some feel the story is predictable and the game's scope feels like it could have been larger.
