Incredibly charming soulslike platformer. Quality writing, quality combat, and quality exploration all around. It only sags in polish, where you can tell the small team struggled with some minor bugs and level geometry issues (I ended up out-of-bounds several times just through exploring the edge of a map or an enemy clipping me through the floor). Also the difficulty curve is especially wonky, with a lot of late-game bosses going down very quickly without requiring the player to learn their patterns. But the fundamentals are all great, and it's a triumph that an indie game can match some of FromSoft's best gamefeel.
