What players say

Players describe it as a metroidvania blended with point-and-click puzzles and 80s horror homages. The central ghost realm toggle costs health and battery, forcing constant flickering. Opinions split on difficulty: some praise the challenge, others find it unfair with clunky controls and no key rebinding. Several report crashes and progression bugs.
