Steam review snapshots
The exploration is fun, but it does take some getting used to the initial mechanic that you only jump when the game…Regardless it is a relatively short game, and enjoyable once you know where most of the bugs trigger.Fight countless enemies and bosses, and solve challenging puzzles.The atmosphere is gorgeous, the music is beautiful and the aesthetic of it all made me feel happy.Why it fits
