I really like the game, it's challenging and a lot of fun. The art is great and as far as I've played, I've been entertained.
I do recommend this game if you are looking for a challenge out of the ordinary.

This is an interesting game, it requires lots of precision and patience in some places, so be prepared to re play sections over and over again.
If you can get over that, there are some interesting mechanics here, mostly the hook, that you will need to transverse the level; as is the main feature of this game.
For me, the main attractive is the artistic choices of black n white and some special elements that are in color to make them more noticeable.
The game contains a mixture of platformer elements, puzzles and even boss battles, there is a lot of things that work well here, and some that need some polishing, sometimes I feel like the movement could be more responsive, but it's a solid option if you are looking for a good challenge.

Gotta love the games art style, it has a unique style with the black and white palettes helps to understand the protagonist world, fantastic gameplay and mechanic, not ground breaking but work on a fluid level.

Game play is centred around game play not making sense.
ie; Entering a new area where you keep falling just short of a jump, if you walk out of area and then turn back around the screen is all black - looks like a glitch - but is an intentional 'unspoken' suggestion to turn back again to see if a new path has opened in the previous area.
Trying to check control mappings in Options shows that most of the buttons are mapped to an lightbulb icon suggesting that you figure it out for yourself.
I'll be honest, I thought this was just another broken indie game made by someone in a lesser-known foreign country who was suffering from mental issues.
And I was raging angry at first.
But once you realise that the game is intentionally obtuse it becomes much more interesting to play.
The type of game which I can most compare this too would be "I Wanna Be The Guy" but much much more forgiving; requiring less pattern memorisation and more learning and understanding your control options in many various situations.

I followed the development of this game for a while, and I have to say I'm not disappointed.
I'm no stranger to difficult precision platformers and unforgiving games, and this game delivers exactly that. Having a good mix of puzzle platforming and combat is something really refreshing for the genre. There is a good amount of options for traversal movement which gives a lot of freedom when trying to clear some areas.
There is a a lot of implicit things when it comes to its narrative, which might get a little bit confusing from time to time, but I think the overall message of the game is pretty clear.
I really like the art, I feel like it has a very particular style that gives it a lot of personality and it has some interesting animations.
All in all, if like me, you enjoy a challenging platformer, this game is a solid option to play.
