[h1] Play as wooden Jerry. Similar to Little Nightmares, escape from hands of evil pupeteer. You're small and jump on the tables and cabinets. Dark and spooky levels with plenty of platforming and some object pushing to make the path. Climb on ladders using triggers, each correspond for each arm. Game is poorly optimized and running on GTX 1080 was a hassle. Overall worth checking out if you like games like Little Nightmares. It's fairly short and full of surprises. Don't become voodoo.

This being for the price of free... i mean i see why, there are quite some places to polish and bugfix. But! Who am i to judge, it runs on linux :v2 found this helpful
صراحتا ما توقعت اللعبه بتكون بذي الجمال ومن ثلاث مطورين فقط
I hope you make this a full fledged and thank you for allowing me to be graced with this game, love the chase but the animation could be a slight bit better, and the climbing was just up and that we could not move in the cutscene's but other than those things its a great game!
Very good looking game has some platforming kinda like little nightmares but pretty short, a full game would be cool
A cute idea, poorly executed. I feel like a bit of a monster, criticizing a free indie game, and one which is so evidently the developers' first dip into the business. I would also feel thoroughly offended if somebody pretended to like something I made, so I will just go on and say it: the game runs like garbage. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for playing Mokujin's Bizarre Childhood Trauma, but it's rather hard to focus on the good stuff when you're thinking about how badly the 3D artist needs a class in graphical optimization. Having such a wooden control scheme doesn't help, either, but I'll write that one off as thematically befitting the experience. I didn't like the game, but I'd like to. Therefore, consider this negative review as a personal challenge from me to the developers: prove this pretentious prick on the internet wrong, and laugh at him in your speech at the Game Awards, ten years from now.
