About the Game

ABOUT THIS GAME

Every step is a risk. Every mistake can be fatal.

Yet behind the struggle lies beauty - a peaceful, quiet world drawn with love.

Despite its genre, the journey begins not with rage, but with determination - the resolve to climb to the very top.

Your ascent will be filled with diverse, original obstacles and environments, each testing your patience, precision, and spirit.

Witness a story of transformation and acceptance, and in doing so, transform your own anger into understanding as you embrace the challenge and reach the end.

Features

  • Hand-drawn world - every stroke crafted with care, every scene lovingly built to delight the eye.

  • Unique gameplay - every throw, jump, and dash demands not only skill, but also determination.

  • Progressive challenge - each segment presents a tougher test than the last, with ever-rising stakes.

  • No battles, no enemies, only consequences – every fall and every setback is your own mistake, and your lesson to learn.

  • A story without words - beautiful stories don’t need dialogue; this one unfolds through evocative hand-drawn illustrations.

  • A journey of contrasts - calm turns to anger, determination to despair, and mistakes into mastery.

  • Alternative paths - look from a different angle to discover faster and riskier routes, a perfect way to skip easy sections and reclaim your progress.
