The gameplay features a unique puzzle mechanic that challenges players' problem-solving skills, but it is hindered by tedious mechanics and potential for frustrating situations, such as getting stuck due to the mirror mechanic. While the puzzles are fair and engaging, the overall execution may leave players feeling that the game doesn't fully realize its promising concept.
“The game may not look like much, but the puzzles are fair, challenge my brain, and I can't remember having seen this mechanic before.”
“Even earlier, I had to redo levels, since the mirror mechanic makes it difficult to move both avatars up to the same wall - and since I had destroyed the only aid I had for achieving this, I'd effectively gotten myself stuck.”

The story conveys a powerful message about resilience and the unpredictability of life, emphasizing that perseverance in the face of adversity can lead to unexpected and rewarding outcomes.
