How it feels

A methodical puzzle-platformer where the story is delivered entirely through sung rock opera performances, giving the gameplay a theatrical, staged feel.

What players say

Players buy for the metal and rock opera soundtrack featuring famous vocalists, but find the gameplay a letdown. The platforming is clunky, the camera is unhelpful, and bugs persist even after patches. A short 5-10 hour experience with puzzles and no combat, the music and art carry it while the actual game feels unfinished.
