  • Excellent level design and exploration with a large interconnected world featuring backtracking, collectibles, and secrets that reward players.
  • Strong atmosphere and worldbuilding supported by haunting, memorable music, well-crafted pixel art visuals, and engaging side characters with compelling stories.
  • Unique and satisfying progression system that significantly enhances abilities and mobility, making exploration and platforming progressively more enjoyable.
  • The game suffers from various technical issues including animation stutters, frame desync, bugs with platforming mechanics, and occasional glitches impacting smooth gameplay.

  • Janky movement and controls especially early on, including issues with pole and ladder grabbing and some clipping problems with platforms, which diminish the polish.
