How it feels

A slow, contemplative journey through a strange and shifting world, where every choice feels weighty and the atmosphere is thick with mystery and unease.

What players say

Players praise the unique dream-interpretation puzzles and the dark, mysterious atmosphere, but many find the visions too cryptic to solve on a first playthrough. The game is very short, ending just as it gets going, which leaves some wanting more content.
