Good job introducing most mechanics in a simple way before using them in a more unique way.
Here's my first impression playthrough
Great surprise in terms of mechanics, wonderfully executed idea, congratulations!
I love everything about this game. Amazing job!
Really amazing stuff! The gameplay and atmosphere really are something else. Had some challenge for my small brain! Loved it!
