A tense, atmospheric puzzle-platformer where evil spirits relentlessly pursue you through hand-drawn, retro-styled northern horror.

What players say

Players say the game is not functional, with only two screens, no menu, and no clear goals. Reviews are split between those who find it a short curiosity and those who call it an abandoned project.
