How it feels
A dreamy and surreal exploration through a hybrid 2D-3D world, with a gentle pace and introspective moments as you clean the inner bodies of quirky characters.

What players say
Players are split on the 2D/3D hybrid design: many love the Zelda-like dungeons and meta story, while others feel the barren 3D overworld is a bait-and-switch. The writing tackles depression, mortality, and religion, and the PS1 aesthetic is appreciated. Some find the gameplay tedious with fetch quests.
