A lovely surprise, this is a really cool little roguelike (which I generally dont like) with 0 tutorialisation. The process of learning the game's language and objectives and finally succeeding in a run is incredibly satisfying. It can be frustrating at times, sure, but the game is also wisely quite short (my winning run came after 50 minutes) and whilst there are a few ancillary mechanics introduced as you progress it keeps you on your toes, discovering new ideas instead of just waiting for the best run.

I heard there was a game called Cinco Paus a while ago which had a similar design ethos, but I was kind of scared off cause it looked way too obtuse for me to stick to it, this game imo is just opaque enough to be satisfying to solve but not so opaque that it becomes maddening. I might be way off on Cinco Paus though, maybe its not all that bad .

It is moreso a roguelite than like, Im pretty sure a first run victory is impossible? But it takes a few runs to even figure out what the hell is going on with the game anyways, so I dont think anyone should mind. And again its a short snack of a game.

The artstyle is appealing, forest themed, colour pencil drawn style. The plot of the game is simple too, but it fits. In all honesty I think theres not all that much to say because everything about the game is best experienced by yourself, its short but its also cheap (like less than 3 euro).
