How it feels

A slow, surreal exploration of a boy's mind through a mysterious house, with puzzles that feel dreamlike and slightly unsettling.

What players say

Players praise the atmospheric art and music but strongly criticize the clunky controls and lack of saving mid-chapter. Many describe getting stuck on unintuitive puzzles and softlocked by bugs. The story and ending divide opinion, with some calling it touching and others finding it vague or disappointing.
