How it feels

A slow, uneasy climb with a bowling ball, punctuated by classical music and shifts in gravity as you chase hidden story fragments.

What players say

Players call it a hard and frustrating foddian game, but many find it unfair compared to Getting Over It. Several reviews highlight that the game does not save your progress and resets everything on quitting, and late sections have instant-death pits that send you back to the start.
