How it feels
A disorienting, psychedelic first-person adventure that feels like a wacky bad trip through a surreal comic-book world.

What players say
Players praise the surreal atmosphere and Philip K. Dick-inspired visuals, but many find the core gameplay repetitive and the puzzles easy once learned. The game is very short, 2 to 3 hours, and several report bugs that block progress or a save system that can restart levels by mistake.
