How it feels
A bleak yet darkly humorous journey through hand-drawn pixel art, where simple point-and-click puzzles and an atmospheric side-scrolling world tell a story of lost humanity and the search for hope.

What players say
Players call this a worthy sequel that expands on the first game's story, completing a redemption arc with emotional weight. It runs about 2 to 4 hours, with puzzles that are simpler than in the predecessor. Some players find the theme of forgiveness and hope powerful, while a few feel the story is hollow or overly similar to the film Inside Out.
