How it feels

The player explores small puzzle rooms with a meditative, low-pressure rhythm as they rewind time and adjust gravity to progress.

What players say

Players compare it to Portal but find it janky and frustrating. The time-stopping camera mechanic is praised as creative, but bugs can block progression, gravity puzzles feel unresponsive, and the camera disorients. It is free and short, and there is no story.
