My favorite part of the game is the minimalist and somber story, told entirely with no words or text. Instead it employs environmental clues and occasional brief puppet theater segments. It has a great narrative arc for each of its few characters.

The idea of a metroidvania based on exploration & puzzle solving as opposed to exploration & combat is novel. The magnet based puzzles are satisfying and fun to play around with.

The puzzles can very occasionally be clumsy and the boss fights can be frustrating as any hit is insta-death, but the fights are doable. Just be prepared for some pattern recognition and execution testing.

Took me 5 hours to 100%. Highly recommend for a unique and beautiful metroidvania-esc game.
