How it feels

A tense, retro-inspired platformer with punishing hazards and atmospheric mystery.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and atmosphere but note the game is very short, finishing in under two hours. The telekinesis mechanic with mouse dragging is a unique draw, though many report that platforming can be frustratingly hard with frequent deaths. Some found the controls buggy and noted the lack of gamepad support.
