How it feels

A deliberately challenging, nostalgia-driven adventure that trusts the player to find their own way through its atmospheric environments and cinematic story.

What players say

Players are split on this Early Access title. Some praise its potential and story, but many report it is not ready: controls feel confusing, there are no graphics or sound settings, and saving is not an option. Controller support is limited to Xbox, and several reviewers encountered bugs.
