How it feels
You pilot a tiny probe through a vast, desolate alien world, unlocking abilities and unraveling ancient mysteries in a quiet, methodical Metroidvania.

What players say
Players love the alien atmosphere and detailed world, but are split on the controls: many find them floaty and cumbersome, making combat and backtracking a chore. The game is a short metroidvania with heavy backtracking, and some players find it too slow despite its strong visual storytelling.
