How it feels

A dark, contemplative 2D puzzle-platformer where cautious navigation through a hostile world is backed by an atmospheric soundtrack, with checkpoints softening the challenge.

What players say

Players find it stressful but rewarding, with difficulty that is challenging without being overwhelming. The minimalist art is praised, though many note the lack of consistent music. It is compared to Ori in story and described as short.
