How it feels

A stealth-driven 2D parkour adventure through an atmospheric underground fantasy world, with pixel art and a story-rich, choice-laden experience.

What players say

Players praise the unique stealth-meets-Metroidvania gameplay, beautiful pixel art, and superb music, but they are split on recommending it because bugs and glitches grow more frequent late in the game, and the map forces excessive backtracking. A checkpoint bug that strands players without the required ability can ruin a run, and the lack of post-release updates has eroded confidence.
