✦ AI summary

Players praise this game's unique, strange aesthetic and genuinely challenging puzzles that reward careful thinking, paired with a peaceful and chill atmosphere that avoids being genuinely scary despite its creepy design. The main complaint is that the game feels bloated or overly complex in places, and some wish the character movement speed was faster, though the simple controls and artistic presentation resonate strongly with those seeking unconventional puzzle experiences.

If your looking for dumb, straight forward, 123 type game, then this is not for you. If you like the weird, strange and a real puzzle with a challenge than definitely give this a try. Its game play is very simple, Arrow keys to move around and the right ctrl to select, that's it. However some puzzles are super complex and took me a while to get right, not because I didn't understand what to do, simply because I found myself getting lost in the sequence which made me challenge myself more than the game. I wouldn't have minded the character to go a little faster but its just a detail. The design, like I said before is weird, its very aub and the character is well...creepy. The score adds to the effect of the strange and different but its not distracting that you cant focus on your task. If you like puzzles with different taste than I would recommend giving this one a go.

I'm utterly enthralled by the amount of bloat that is envolved in this fine piece of ethnic bloat. I was especially captivated by the amount of LSD that was involved in the bloating of bloat. - 420 bloat-blaze - 360 no-bloat - Bloat-arriha - Bloat-master 5000 - Bloat-aggedon - Ian Bloatly - Screw you, Simon Bloatly

Whatever Bloats your boat, give this game a try if your curious about it. I'm glad its not a horror game beneath the surface.
