How it feels
A quiet, introspective journey through pixel-art interiors, where measured platforming and puzzle-solving mirror a struggle with depression and the fragile hope of moving forward.

What players say
Players praise the game's exploration of depression and trauma, but many find the protagonist's slow movement frustrating. The puzzles are enjoyable yet sometimes require reloading on fail states, and the crafting menu feels clunky. Opinions on the story diverge, some find it emotionally moving, others call it unclear and pretentious.
