How it feels

A metafictional, unnerving experience where a character pleads for help as glitches and cryptic messages blur the line between game and reality.

What players say

Players are split on this metanarrative indie. Many criticize the overwhelming, unskippable dialogue and sluggish platforming with slippery controls, while a few appreciate the self-aware story and humor. The ending is widely disliked, and most agree it is only worth picking up at a deep discount.
