How it feels

A contemplative puzzle-platformer where you rewind and manipulate time to solve thoughtful, subtle challenges while exploring haunting memories and regrets.

What players say

Players praise the clever time-manipulation puzzles and satisfying aha moments, but some find it short and note that later puzzles, especially the hidden stars, become frustrating. The anniversary edition offers updated graphics and extensive developer commentary, though opinions are split on whether it improves on the original.
