Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this free, short action-adventure, praising its story and boss fights, though many call it short and clunky.

Most reviewers recommend the game, and many praise its emotional story and atmosphere, with some calling the ending moving. Players enjoy the platforming with the grappling hook, the art direction and the boss fights, and a few mention that it works well as a co-op experience. The main complaints are that the game is short, that the boss fights drag or repeat their attacks, and that the sword is clumsy and sometimes fails to register hits. Some players report glitches and performance problems on their machines, and a few note the lack of key rebinding and the missing pause. Recent reviews are more mixed than the older helpful ones, with several players finding it dull or unpolished, while others still call it a memorable free game.
