What players say

Players praise the charming visuals and humor, calling it like a Pixar movie or Little Nightmares with a lighter tone. The short 4-to-5-hour run is a common point, with opinions split on the abrupt ending. Most find the stealth and puzzles simple, though some call it repetitive. A few note minor performance hiccups on PC, but it runs well on Steam Deck.
