    Undoubtedly a strange action adventure that does its own thing, but that doesn’t necessarily make it a home run either.

    A surreal, engaging story, but there's too much dialogue and NPCs — unusual for a metroidvania. Combat is clunky, scanning is a waste of time, but the hand-drawn world is captivating, and the orbs that reveal the map encourage exploration.
