How it feels

A thoughtful puzzle-platformer where you feel like an explorer in a stark, grey world, gradually unlocking vibrant colors that transform both the environment and the narrative into a heartfelt journey about loss and discovery.

What players say

Players praise the color-changing puzzle mechanic and find the game clever and fun, though short at around 3-4 hours. The platforming is easy, but some puzzles become trickier toward the end. Reviews split on the story: some find it thought-provoking, others deem it unnecessary.
