How it feels

A challenging puzzle-platformer that blends cute pixel-art visuals with darkly whimsical necromancy mechanics and a mysterious atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the central mechanic of possessing enemies to solve puzzles, but reviews are split on the balance: early puzzles give way to demanding precision platforming sections that some find frustrating. The game is short, around 5 to 6 hours, and works well with a second player. A few note the lack of Chinese localization and limited keybinding options.
