A thought-provoking platformer with well-made puzzles and some deep philosophical questions. Does just having thoughts indicate sentience? What is the nature of a soul? Would you still be yourself if your soul left your body and inhabited another? What are you willing to do to survive; moreover, what SHOULD you do to survive? Is survival worth the cost? Are you still human?

If you want a relaxing, linear experience solving puzzles and contemplating fundamental questions of our existence, this game is for you. This game is perfect for people who like putting together pieces of information to discover lore, because the story is notably and purposefully twisty and ambiguous. I'd recommend playing through it twice; the first to just experience the story, and then a second time to appreciate and realize more about the story. Don't worry; the game is short. Altogether, I spent about 6 hours for two playthroughs.

Yes, the game is a touch stereotypical, but considering that it was originally released in 2013, it has held up extraordinarily well against the last decade's rapidly growing inclination towards deep philosophical questions.

Even if you're not great at puzzles, you'll enjoy this game; it isn't too challenging. I myself am not great at puzzles that require this kind of thinking, but I got through about 60% of the game without having to look up a walkthrough, and then on the second playthrough, I was able to do all but three of the puzzles without a guide.

If any of this appeals to you at all, I'd urge you to give the game a try.

Hey fellow introvert. As we all need a little bit of interaction, this is my way to stay alive. So further ado... Thanks for lifting this up! According to my calculations this game is one of the most liked in the Steam community. I have collected them "all" in here https://steamproxy.net/groups/LowFiveMore :cozycrashfish: if you ever need another pick
