How it feels
Exploring a connected pixel art world while manipulating time between barren present and lush past feels methodical and story rich.

What players say
Players praise it as a solid, short metroidvania with charming pixel art and a soundtrack that echoes Castlevania. The time-freeze gimmick is appreciated, though some find it rarely used. Reviews split on the story: many enjoy it, while a few criticize it as too focused on LGBT and feminist themes.
