The gameplay is characterized by a unique blend of exploration and puzzle-solving within dark, intricate tunnels, where players control two characters with distinct mechanics. While the game presents a challenge and requires creative thinking, it rewards players with inventive puzzles that encourage experimentation. Overall, the experience is engaging and immersive, with a focus on discovery and interaction between the characters.
“The puzzle mechanics were very creative and maybe a bit frustrating, but they are not hard if you can think outside the box.”
“On top of that, some of the puzzles and mechanics require a little bit of imagination; the game does not hold your hand, so expect a bit of challenge there as well.”
“For me to explain exactly how this game works might be a bit of a spoiler in itself. I think part of the charm of this game is figuring out how the two character mechanics interact together.”
