How it feels

A methodical, brain-teasing puzzle game where you outwit enemies on a battlefield with small-scale tactical decisions.

What players say

Players are split on this free puzzle game. Some praise its Arabic cultural theme and creative dialogue with backgrounds, while others find the puzzles predictable and the mechanics clunky. The game is short, around an hour, and ends on a cliffhanger, which disappointed some.
