What players say
Players call this a short, free adventure you can finish in under 30 minutes. They like the art style and simple story, but many find the controls clunky and the fixed camera easy to miss doorways with. Some note the tutorial feels longer than the actual game, and opinions split on whether the short length is a charm or a letdown.
