How it feels

A satirical, contemplative stroll through a world that mocks familiar tropes while you wander and reflect.

What players say

Players call this a short, abstract walking simulator with sluggish movement and confusing level design. Many find it boring and pretentious, though a few appreciate its surreal atmosphere. The game is about finding hidden objects in odd environments, but navigation is frustrating and the experience often makes people feel disoriented.
