The verdict
A charming, relaxing turn-based puzzler with great art and music, but a short, easy mobile port with swipe-style controls. Skip it if you want a long challenge or hate mouse-drag input.
Great for
Tomb Raider fans and casual puzzle players wanting a short, cozy game on Steam Deck, controller or Steam Link
Main risk
Swipe-to-move mobile controls with no undo are frustrating on PC, and the game is short and easy.
