How it feels

A tense, atmospheric journey through a dark fairy-tale world where you hide from monstrous creatures and rely on a fragment of courage to survive.

What players say

Players praise the dark Nordic folklore and atmosphere, but note the game is short at around 5-6 hours. It starts cute and becomes disturbingly dark. Some find the controls janky and puzzles too easy. Steam deck performance is reported as problematic. The game is often compared to Little Nightmares and Limbo.
