How it feels

A poignant, hand-drawn cinematic adventure through a melancholic forgotten world, balancing light puzzling with emotional storytelling as you enforce order amid rebellion.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn Ghibli-like art and emotional story, but are split on the writing: some find it beautiful, others say it flounders in the last few hours. The platforming and puzzles are considered simple, and the controls feel stiff to some. Choices have little impact on the linear plot, though the game has two endings.
