Feb. 2026

A wonderful exploration platformer with a huge area to discover! The scenery and music make it a joy to just explore and wander around at first and the jumping and timing puzzles often seem impossible at first but (at least for me) they are tremendously satisfying to solve and when you pull them off, you really feel accomplishment. The fixed save points and the long ways in between items and quests are on the border of too much. The atmosphere, however, makes up for that.

Feb. 2026

It's a good game, but the graphics has dated like a skimmed milk, it looks absolutely a** : the author hasn't even bothered to put in proper video settings, so you have to fiddle with 3rd party upscalers to make it look somewhat decent on anything larger than 720p (jfc). By default it'll look like a blurry pixel vomit on your 4k screen.

Dec. 2025

Really nice, relaxing (at times), underrated game. Beautiful visuals, near-perfect audio and a dev that I'd like to back with all that I have. The feeling of mastering the movement system is extremely satisfying and I just wish it was longer.

Oct. 2025

Extremely relaxing, almost zen-like game, with a huge nonlinear open world (starting in chapter 3, which is really the entire game; the first two chapters are more like tutorials). Great music and atmospheric sound design that's very reminiscent of ASMR, and some beautiful backgrounds. Very cool. Has some tricky precision platformer elements as well, especially for the optional challenges and achievements. Turning into a ball is great fun, I honestly wish more metroidvanias or platformers had elements like this. The speed it allows you to traverse, as well as nailing tricky bounces into hard to reach places, is very satisfying.

Aug. 2025

the appeal of this game is that you can spend many hours exploring a staggeringly massive, lush, atmospheric world while listening to great ambient music. that said, the characters and quests are plenty endearing and fun, too.
