Art direction is top notch. Very dark, and eery atmosphere. The gripe is piss poor controls. You have to die to uncover every puzzle, then die over and over just to get the character to execute each small movement to solve the most basic of platforming feats. Better control would make this a lot more enjoyable. For a game that isn't much fun to play, you may just want to watch a YouTube play through and save 5 bucks.

This was a very fun puzzle platformer. The story is intriguing, and I would play a sequel just to learn more. The game play is challenging but not punishing, and the frequent checkpoints are very good for a first playthrough. I have only one suggestion. I think a hardmode with much fewer checkpoints would be interesting for people who like a harder challenge. Other than that, my only complaint is that it wasn't longer! This is one of very few games I have felt worthy of a descriptive review.

Wanted to love it, the dark theme, the atmosphere, simple yet beautiful graphics... But the touch controls are extremely frustrating, I tried connecting my Xbox controller, it is supported but a slight latency is making it just as frustrating. I was looking forward to solving puzzles, instead I'm repeating the same level a dozen times because I die due to a lack of responsive controls. I think I got about half way through the game before leaving it alone, the puzzle weren't that clever, just OK
