How it feels

A lonely, dreamlike 2D sci-fi adventure where you explore a strange alien-infested station through photography and experimentation.

What players say

Players praise the pacifist approach: instead of fighting, you scan creatures with a camera and learn their behaviors to distract or lure them. The slow, methodical pace divides opinion, with some comparing it to La-Mulana and others finding it too tedious. The game opens up significantly after obtaining the jetpack, but a few players report potential softlocks in the one-way teleporter areas.
