How it feels

A calm, contemplative puzzle game where you silently explore abstract environments and gently manipulate the world to find your path.

What players say

Players praise the visuals and sound design but split on difficulty: some find it easy, others frustratingly hard. Many criticize the inability to backtrack or undo moves, and a few report bugs and controller problems.
