How it feels
A minimalist, experimental puzzle adventure where navigating a keyboard as a map feels deliberately awkward and intellectually demanding.

What players say
Players say this is a keyboard-based action puzzle game that relies on knowing the QWERTY layout by heart. Many call it very difficult, with speed increases in later runs and misclicks ruining progress. Opinions split on whether it is a puzzle game or an arcade game. Some warn it is unplayable on Dvorak or non-QWERTY keyboards.
