How it feels

A disorienting puzzle game where you navigate trap-filled rooms with a dizzying control scheme that rotates 90 degrees each time you advance, making each step a mind-bending challenge.

What players say

Players highlight the core gimmick of duplicated rooms rotated 90 degrees clockwise, which creates disorienting controls where pressing up moves you right. Opinions split: some find it a tedious and unfun puzzle, while others see a compelling strategic challenge.
