Its hypnotic monochrome psychedelic aesthetic, occult mechanics, permadeath system, and eight enemy types combine with unique gameplay elements like orb-pondering and rose-gazing to create a meditative yet terrifying endless ritual with no scripted scares.

the Moon cast a spell upon the Sun
turning him into Snow, shining,

Psychedelic, bleak and willfully obscure. The sound design is actually terrifying. Very odd and very cool but not really a game. Or like...not a "game" game, you know? I'd say I suffered the gameplay to try and solve the puzzle. I'll probably pick it up for another 30 minutes down the line and that'll be it. Cool and unique, plenty of mystery, not much fun at its core. Buy on sale or at full price if you love atmospheric nightmares for their own sake.1 found this helpful
extraordinary game. defies easy categorization. bewildering, terrifying, beautiful1 found this helpful
Honestly, this is a very unique and refreshing take on roguelikes. It can be frustrating to figure it out at first, but once you start getting it, the reward is satisfying. I love the graphics and atmosphere add so much to it as well.
A playable nightmare, but in a great way!
It's not worth the price. I recommend getting it on sale if you're looking for a highscore based horror experience.
Obviously there are people out there that may enjoy this but I didn't enjoy anything about it. It takes too long to find crystals and isn't fun in the mean time.
