[h1] Puzzle platformer where you control girl and some ghost dude. You can swap between characters and each have its own abilities like telekinesis or climbing. Visuals are very abstract and gloomy. Despite the sad atmosphere of the game its somewhat original but also have some bugs. You play using both mouse and keyboard. On the bright side you don't have to move each character independently most of the time as they follow however you have to solve puzzles by your own. Not the worst game just hard to recommend.

Poorly optimized. Needed to change to 60 Hz refresh rate on monitor to complete the first puzzle. Alot of the gameplay consists of just randomly clicking on the screen to get the solution to the puzzle.1 found this helpful
*Status: 100% Completed* An atmospheric puzzle-platformer that sends you through surreal levels with an imaginary friend. The only real downside is a lack of technical polish.
Ignore any reviews stating or suggesting that this game contains no story as they are objectively incorrect. Tulpa is an art piece with a game that happens to be there. Ophelia and Oliver travel through four different worlds, each with their own sense of personality and atmosphere. The story which underpins this odyssy is, as with much art media, up to the audience to piece together. (This isn't some triple-A moneyspinner which will spoonfeed you...) It is a wonderful experience overall, and worth the time and effort. It's a shame Encryptique haven't put out more along these lines.
good :)
Aesthetically vibrant, though gameplay is... middling to say the least. Worth playing for the visuals.
