How it feels

A delicate, painterly puzzle-platformer where rewinding time feels both meditative and intellectually rigorous.

What players say

Players praise the time-rewind mechanic as clever and central to the puzzles, but many find the later levels excessively difficult, with precision jumps that feel punishing. The story is cryptic and often described as pretentious, while the art and music are widely appreciated.
