  • gameplay
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a unique dual-cat mechanic that adds a charming twist to the platforming experience, with well-designed puzzles that encourage experimentation.

    • “I'm caught in a loop, repeating the same mechanics nonstop, offering little to no excitement.”

  • story
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its emotional depth and originality, particularly the concept of a second self, while others criticize it as incoherent or overly simplistic. Many found the storytelling elements engaging, though the execution—such as the use of a difficult-to-read font—detracted from the overall experience. Overall, the narrative's impact varies significantly among players, with some feeling it enhances the gameplay and others viewing it as a distraction.

    • “Particularly enjoyed the storytelling aspects as well!”
    • “I'm not sure if it was something lost in translation, but the story did come across as sad to me and yet, accepting of oneself and the situation you are given.”
    • “The story, as well as the idea of a second self mirroring your actions, was presented in an original way, and composed the storytelling in a way that keeps the player engaged until the end.”
    • “There isn’t much story in this game.”
    • “Also, it was the least of the game’s problems, but the story was complete nonsense.”
    • “However, the promise of a deep and meaningful story is hurt by the hard-to-read cursive font used to present all the narration, thus losing all the appeal of what is supposed to feel like a haunting tale.”
