Ratings and reviews

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 is a great game. The puzzles aren't extraordinarily difficult, and I think they're just the right level to keep you going at a good pace. My biggest gripe is just about the controls. It would take me half as long to clear a level if I didn't jump by accident instead of leaping. Buttons or anything else would be great. The lighting of the graphics is a bit dark and can be hard to see at times, but I've been able to find all the necessary objects/levers.

Fantastic game, never gets boring, sometimes it would bug out on me but over all the graphics are amazing, the controls are great, animation and color scheme were very fun. I had a great time playing this, I got stuck on a few levels but over all it was a good game. Installed it and finished in a few hours, worth the money. Easy controls to work with, I love that it's simple to know where you are going. 10/10 would definitely recommend spending the money, great game to sit down and play through.
