✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's artistic style and atmospheric design, but are consistently frustrated by poor controls, technical issues including mouse input problems and UI glitches, and a minimalist gameplay loop that feels underdeveloped and often leads to progression roadblocks. The game suffers from persistent stability problems across different systems that have apparently gone unresolved for years, leaving many players with regret over their purchase.

Actually the worst game I've played. Only now reviewing because it was part of a big sale. It's just very low budget feeling and controls very poorly.

Tags: Platformer Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Broken. Engine misbehaving. Mouse pointer blinking in and out, floating, and being janky. Some UI elements uninteractable or not acknowledging inputs appropriately. Outstanding issues: Splashscreens went by at the speed of lightning, followed by a very long loading screen. Then the menu screen had my mouse pointer blinking slightly in and out of existence, being slow, and floaty, and just very janky. I managed to press play, and was treated to what looked like a theatre with weird props on it. I could select a shop, and nothing else. I tried clicking everywhere and button mashed the keyboard, no way to ever get a game started. So I gave up. It didnt feel very stable and other reviewers said it was not a mechanically appealing game, no controller support, and overall pretty bad aside maybe for some aesthetic flair. So I am removing to declutter library

This game has a major problem, and has had for as long as I've owned it. Multiple computers, graphics cards, and operating systems all seem to have the same glitch, which makes the game nearly unplayable. If I had not purchased it long ago, I'd have asked for a refund.
