How it feels

A gentle, self-paced puzzle adventure that lets you explore and solve obstacles in your own way.

What players say

Players describe this as a short puzzle exploration game held back by glitches and floaty controls that often send you into the water. Physics bugs can throw the player across rooms or fail to load exits, and the lack of level saves forces full restarts. The Linux build is broken, requiring Proton.
