Strengths

Puzzles using spatial retracing and some boss mechanics are original, providing satisfying “How am I supposed to solve this?” moments.
The art, atmosphere, UI, and music are polished and distinctive, with high overall visual quality for a small-team project.
The setting dealing with memory, personality, and AI, along with the fragmented narrative delivered through collectible text, is considered intriguing.

Weaknesses

The retracing system fits puzzles much better than combat, and limited use of teleportation and dodging in boss fights makes the combat experience feel disconnected.
Complaints cite awkward combat feel and controller configuration, including attack recovery delays, the input methods for retracing and dodging, and short input windows.
There are few enemy types, boss difficulty varies widely, and excessive damage from some skills makes late-game combat repetitive.
