The verdict
A dark, symbolic 3D puzzle-platformer with a distinctive mood and a low price, held back by an awkward camera and clunky controls. Skip it if you dislike precision jumping or pretentious narration.
Great for
Patient platformer fans who like moody, symbolic indie games and can play with a controller
Main risk
Rigid camera and clunky controls make 3D jumps frustrating, and deaths send you back
