How it feels

A short, emotional narrative adventure through a colorful hand-drawn forest, centering on a cute gnome protector dealing with personal problems.

What players say

Players praise the handmade paper art style and charming animal characters, but are split on the gameplay: most describe it as a Cuphead-like boss rush that is challenging but fair, while a few find the difficulty mismatched with the cute aesthetic. The game is very short, around an hour, and controller support is buggy, especially on the third boss.
