Deep within the realm of sleep, Sybil finds herself pulled to a distorted castle. Grow strong, and unlock new abilities to build up a deep movement system, fight enemies, find secrets, and free the weary soul of Castle Sansa, in this retro-inspired 3D Platformer Metroidvania.

The value story

June 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $4.19. It has been discounted 25 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 20 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was this month, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.

On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is better reviewed than 99 percent of its genre. The nearest things to it, Haste ($19.99, scores 76) and Mirror's Edge™ ($19.99, scores 55), are both worse buys on this math.

$8.06 is where it would stop being a BANGER. Today it is $5.99.

30 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 81 percent of the 1,315 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

I LOVE THIS GAME HOLY COW! i played this once got lost didn't have time and now picked it back up. no guide, beat the game just completely own my own in like 6.5 hours. You do not need ALL the abilities but man the shmovement in this game is great

This game rocks. The movement and platforming elements were awesome and i loved the time trials sections especially. I'm sure i didn't master the movement but that's fine because i was able to get around in creative ways with the tools provided anyway. Also Sybil is hot
