What players say
A super fun small game and it's incredible how long it's been supported! I remember playing the demo on a flash browser game and was so happy to find it here.
played through demo mutiple times. decided to buy full version and there is a ton more things you get to do and explorer
Masterclass of a game in terms of story and art. Gameplay itself was enjoyable to grind for hours on end. The cherry on top was the music; one of the most memorable soundtracks to come from the indie game genre.
