Nice visual art

An interesting little title that does an unfortunately little amount with its gameplay. That said it's worth just blitzing through in one sitting.
Not recommended Aug 20, 2026
A short and somewhat fun game, but it lacks a sufficient number of puzzles to make it more complex.

Ok so, I got this game when it was 100% off because it looks amazing and reminiscent of Little Nightmares, which is a game I adore with all my heart (if you can tell by my profile lmao). However I was sorely disappointed. I've played for 1 hour to make sure I had a fair try at playing. Music: In the trailer there's loads of ambiance and creepy sounds, whereas in the game there's practically none. There's little no ambiance in the game with the occasional ting sound. All of my sounds were on 100%. As for chase scenes, no chase music there either, the only thing to tell you you're being chased is the groaning and heavy footsteps. As for the death scene music, it doesn't fit at all. It's not scary, or makes you think "oh my gosh I need to try harder to not do that because it was unpleasant" it just feels like dying is a mild inconvenience at most, rather than scary. Controls + "tutorial": At the start it says for best experience use a controller, so I did. However it's so finicky and sensitive with no option to change controller sensitivity. As for the "tutorial" you can hardly see when it's telling you what buttons to use on the side of a car or something, it shows both keyboard…

The idea is really good, the art, the story, all of that is genuinely good. It's obvious that Little nightmares is was the inspiration. But the game just doesn't work. The amount of bugs makes it unplayable, which is a huge turn off. Games are not like animation or comics, were good story and art are enough. If the gameplay was smooth, then this would be a good indie game worth paying money for

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.

Games like Dragon Age 2: one city, ten years, three acts

Games like Dragon Age 2 are hard to find because almost no RPG keeps you in one city while it rots. These come close, from Neketaka to the streets of Serene.

Games like Remember Me, for the memory remix more than the city

Games like Remember Me, picked for the Memory Remix rather than the neon: minds you can break into, a vertical city to climb, and combos you build yourself.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

Games like Subnautica that keep the depth gate: a wall you cannot pass, a workbench, and more map opening only once the equipment does.
