How it feels

A dark, puzzle-platformer where a little girl uses a tiny lamp to explore distorted worlds of childhood fear and memory, driven by story and atmosphere.

What players say

Players describe a short, story-driven puzzle game about a girl with a magic lamp, centered on color-based puzzles. Most enjoy the atmosphere and art style, but there is strong split: some praise the clever mechanics and emotional ending, while others call the game unfinished, note performance issues, find the sound design lacking, and criticize the ending slides as AI-generated.
