How it feels

Exploring a brightly colored but broken world in silence, solving environmental puzzles and healing the landscape while feeling a constant undercurrent of tension.

What players say

Players praise the satisfying world-shifting mechanic and the Zelda-like exploration, but often note the combat feels underbaked, bugs appear late in the game, and some early builds crash after the intro cutscene.
