How it feels

A deliberately restricted side-scrolling puzzle platformer that feels tense and dark, demanding creative thinking with only left and right controls as you unravel a grim mystery.

What players say

Players praise its unique auto-jump mechanic and challenging puzzle-platforming, but many find the controls frustrating or tedious. Reviews split sharply on whether the difficulty makes it rewarding or just annoying, and several note a ghost that can ruin runs.
