How it feels
A slow, methodical climbing game that feels both punishing and darkly comedic, paired with a philosophical narrator who speaks directly to your struggle.

What players say
Players call it brutally frustrating at first, then surprisingly meditative once you learn the controls. Many mention the lack of checkpoints makes setbacks devastating, but speedrunners find deep satisfaction in shaving seconds off their runs.
