Neat little Metroidvania full of unique ideas and elegant design. Your mileage may vary in how you like its approach to secrets, though. I'd personally recommend stopping after beating the game and rolling credits, as the "2nd layer" the dev talks about is a little too cryptic and where the minimalist design starts to show cracks (like not being able to equip more than one item at a time, or not having warp points where you want them). This isn't like Tunic where the "true ending" feels fairly natural and most players could get there with minimal assistance - it's more like Environmental Station Alpha where the easter egg finale puzzles go off the deep end. But if you like losing your mind in these La Mulana-likes, more power to you.

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.
