— a player, Steam review · 33 hrs played“The devs say this game was made with love and passion, all lies. This game was made with pure unadulterated malice and the desire to cause as much pain as possible...10/10 genuinely one of the best gaming experiences of my life, everyone should play it”
— a player, Steam review · 88 hrs played“I didn't know dying 89 times at the same place could be this enjoyable! It might seem like difficult at first, but you'll enjoy this a lot when you listen to its beautiful soundtrack and get a grip of its deep story. 10/10 P.S. I strongly recommend playing with a controller”
