Steam review snapshots
The atmosphere, music, animations, and lighting are really well done, so it feels a lot more immersive than I would have expected…One small thing though is that despite saving and applying my changes several times, my gamepad control settings just didn't seem to…It's definitely something different, because in some circumstances you will have to avoid touching them but also quickly turn on a light…This is a pixel art puzzle platformer that's similar to FEZ and also has some similar aspects to Braid.Why it fits
Check it if you want adventure, casual filtered by relaxing, pixel art, puzzle.
