About This Game

KEY FEATURES: New setting: a puppet show. Blends distinct horror styles. (Tim Burton / Junji Ito / A24 films) New puzzle mechanics involving rotating and zooming both individual props and the entire scene. The soundtrack blends with your actions, creating a dark fairy tale atmosphere. You'll feel like a spectator of the show, another main character in the game. And the evil doesn't chase the puppet, as it usually does in platformers, it chases you. GAMEPLAY Puzzles: They are the core of the game. You can rotate, move, and even flip the stage or individual props. Boss Battles: You’ll face off against bosses like a Ferris wheel, pipes, and, for example, a giant jaw. The game doesn't hold your hand. You'll have to re-analyze the logic in each room. HORROR The game's storytelling style shifts as the plot progresses, moving from a Tim Burton-esque fairy tale to a horror style like Junji Ito's. It feels like a collaborative horror animated film by these two masters. You'll have to deal with the puppeteer's frequent appearances, but don't forget about the props, they have eyes too. MUSIC Each action, every step you take, is accompanied by classical instruments. The music is primarily dark and fairy tale-like. During truly scary scenes, it transforms into chaotic, off-key playing, like a saxophone solo gone wild.
