What players say

Players describe a short, casual metroidvania focused on exploration and secret hunting, with no boss fights and no health bar. The relic-pedestal system causes backtracking and trial and error, and the jumping feels floaty. Opinions are mixed on how much depth it offers, with some calling it a good beginner game and others finding it dull.
