It's a... game. I feel like you complete so much in one go that you have no emotions left to write a definitive review. It's a game about... a father who has traded with a god to save his daughter's life, and then became a totem? I don't know, there's no clear explanation, even when you actually meet the god who you traded with. Also, the skeleton in the cavern is the skeleton of the father I guess? All I can say is that it reminds me of the oil pastel level from The Multi-Medium, and it's free, so it's good... I guess?1 found this helpful
Really good and cool
daddy chill!
A quick, free, solid puzzle platformer that does it better than some paid games.
Simple, strange platformer with an intriguing concept. Well done for a free game. And it only takes an hour from start to finish.
Awesome little meditative exploration game with a metroidvania-style map!
