Ratings and reviews

I like this game a lot. And I want others to also like it, so I will say that they prioritized the aesthetics over the controls. For me it's swiping horizontally on the left side of the screen to walk/run. Swipe up on the right side of the screen to jump/climb up a rope. No spoilers but to interact with mysterious machines, try to tap it when your character is in front of said machine.

This is honestly a good game, mobile controls aren't so bad once you get used to them and the game has controller support. If I'm being honest though, it feels a little too short of a game for $5. If you like the game though, i would suggest Little Nightmares. It's cheaper and has the same eerie feeling as this game. The only other thing i could say is most of your time in this game is death after death. All in all, a great game though.

DISCLAIMER: I wouldn't recommend this game on mobile. -- I just completed the entire game on my phone, and it was great! The art was great, and the puzzles were challenging in a very fun way. My only issue is that this game was clearly not intended for mobile. It was intended for PC or an actual gaming console; the controls for a mobile device are very buggy. When you click to jump, there's a 50% chance he won't jump; which is terrible for timed jumps and is frustrating, makes it less fun.
