Well this is truly miserable to play. You’re fighting the controls to try and move at all. You definitely need to be into the deliberately jank control schemes of games like [b]Human Fall Flat[/b], [b]Octodad[/b], [b]Getting Over it[/b] in order to find any joy in this. Me, I just feel like I’m chewing on glass, it’s pure misery and frustration.

Beautiful mix of minimal graphics, lovely physics based game play, creepy atmospheric music and story via environment. It's part puzzle, part explore with a big ol getting over it rage game finish.

Had to drop this because of the difficulty coupled with the lack of direction. It was very hard to tell if a particular challenge/area is doable with the current set of abilities - the game does not respect your time in this way. The map is not that helpful and not very clear on the first look (why is it not unlocked from the start?). Also fast travel is only 1-way to the center of the map, and cannot be done the other way around for a huge part (you do get an upgrade later afaik, but why not have it unlocked from the start?). Traversal feels like a chore. It's a genuinely unique game and I'm happy that I experienced it. Giving it a negative rating would be unfair. I just don't have the patience (or maybe skills) to see it through.

A hidden gem. A rage game metroidvania with a very unique movement. The controls are BRUTAL but fun to master. I played on keyboard and boy was it one of the hardest games I've played because of its movement. The ambience, subtle story telling, excellent music and weird controls make it a 9/10.

Incredible and truly unique game. The controls are just ridiculously cool but extremely challenging to master!

Really enjoying the game so far, although I'm struggling to understand the map and it seems a bit buggy, also WARNING: gamepad is pretty much required
