How it feels

a short, emotional action-adventure game where you fight corrupted golems with a homing chakram in slow-motion combat while exploring lost childhood memories.

What players say

Players describe this as a very short, free Zelda-like adventure with a beautiful art style and a fun ranged chakram weapon. The final boss is tricky, but some find the controls unresponsive and melee combat clunky, and bugs are noted. Reviews acknowledge it as a student project.
