How it feels

navigating a vast, lonely galaxy with limited tools, relying on light and engine to solve spatial puzzles and uncover hidden truths

What players say

Players call it a very short experimental horror game, free and worth a quick play. The light-and-dark flashlight mechanic works well, but teleporting between screens disorients some players. Controls feel stiff on keyboard and mouse but smooth on controller, and the story is unclear. A few reviewers call it a tech demo or a ripoff of early space games.
