How it feels
A meditative and whimsical puzzle game where you gently manipulate objects in a vivid, shadow-theatre world to uncover a curious, interwoven narrative at your own pace.

What players say
Players praise the striking shadow-puppet art and music, but many find the physics-based controls unpredictable and frustrating, making puzzles feel tedious rather than rewarding. The story is told without words, and while some find it charming, others say the ambiguity and lack of level select hurt the experience.
