This a fantastic puzzle metroidvania. It really encourages you to experiment with your platforming and the use of your tools. I think Fez would be a game I would positively compare this to.

I especially like how dense the game is. A single puzzle room might have multiple different ways to tackle it, sometimes just allowing for different methods to solve it and sometimes leading to different paths or collectables. Then, that room same might have secret walls or paths layered on separately from the puzzles, allowing for even more progression.

I think the area revolving around the disk is the best example of this. It is a gauntlet of several rooms that you tackle several times, and depending on your progression, it changes how you go through them. The first time, you may only be able to address the basics, but there is minimal stress. The second time, there is more stress, but you have a new tool from the same area to solve puzzles and platform differently. The third time, there is even more stress, but you may have several tools from around the game and one of the game's primary goals waits at the end.

The graphics are fairly minimal, but do a great job of conveying all of information you need for any given room. I think the various animals standout for their impressive design. The music is atmospheric and fits the setting well.

Overall, this game is worth your time. You can dive as deep as you like. It's satisfying to just play and find what you can, but you can dive so deep that you'll be working with other players to solve large-scale ARG puzzles.
