How it feels

A beautiful yet punishing story-driven platformer that balances cute visuals with intense bullet-hell combat and a dark, emotional narrative about confronting fear and fragility.

What players say

Players praise the beautiful art and original soundtrack, calling the music a standout. The story deals with mental health and trauma through symbolism. Gameplay is a simple but challenging platformer with one-hit deaths, and the game is short enough to finish in one sitting.
