How it feels

A minimalist and contemplative puzzle experience that feels constrained yet introspective, as you explore a single mechanic in an abstract and atmospheric world.

What players say

Players describe a one-button minimalist puzzle where you run in a hamster wheel, jumping over spikes to collect photographs. It takes about 20 minutes to see everything and 100% achievements. Most find it relaxing, though some say it feels pointless and the slow loading makes trial and error frustrating.
