How it feels

A thoughtful, introspective puzzle platformer that invites you to ponder existential and philosophical questions through its mechanics and atmosphere.

What players say

Players describe it as a puzzle-focused platformer with no combat, a desolate moon-like setting, and multiple endings. The controls are often called imprecise, and the puzzles can be obscure. Opinions split on the art style, with some liking the minimalism and others finding the character design odd.
