hands down the BEST movement i've ever seen in a 3D platformer.

there's so many little tricks you can do to squeeze extra movement out of your already large toolbox of powers, and it really allows you freedom - if you can answer the challenge. sequence breaks are almost encouraged, with certain areas set up for a shortcut, but you'll have to combine wall kicks, slide dashes, or wall runs in creative ways to get every bit of height and distance to make it.

this got me into trouble, because there is one area you can get yourself softlocked if you don't have the wall run ability (and don't restore to a save) - but otherwise, the ability to navigate all of the games areas in several different ways is truly wonderous. I found myself more than once navigating through an area *backwards* (though clearly, there was some aspect of design to allow you to go in any direction, certain shortcut levers make it clear which is the "intended" route).

there's not really much story, and combat is simple, but still fun. the game is short (100% in 5 hours for me) but if you're looking for a space to run around in and explore and challenge yourself to get to hard to reach place, i can't recommend Pseudoregalia more.

Really cute and relaxed idle sim game, full of charm! The soundtrack is one of my favorites and I really like the gameplay loop, especially since it doesn't ask much of you (there's no 'click to make money' button, you just set things up and let them go).

The devs are also super chatty and invested in making the game better over on discord, if that's your kind of thing!

Overall definitely one of my favorite games to relax with and there's enough story to get you attached to wanting to build your town and take on the bosses!
