Found this on Tiktok and the dev had gameplay footage with the King's Field 4 theme 'Dark Reality' and I decided I would purchase it as soon as it came out. Huge fan of 3d platform-vania style projects and this was more challenging and polished than I had expected, really enjoying it.

Really fun 3d platformer. Reminds me of Psuedoregalia

managed to beat the game in one sitting, it starts a bit slow but movement opens up as you get more and more abilities. don't sleep on the optional collectibles, these open up new abilities as well which usually lead to schmoovement. once you have all your abilities, things get a bit busted and you can skip a lot of platforming. it also seems like there might be some future DLC or abilities added into the game to open up additional areas? or maybe not and i haven't played enough to get everything, but in that case neither has the guide (it turns out i beat the game while having the required ability it was just 3am and i was too tired to realize it, ignore all claims of potential dlc lol but i'm not against it) if you're coming from pseudoregalia, i do think pseudoregalia's movement is better, but i get the feeling that g3bsoft made the game that they wanted to play and wasn't trying to match pseudoregalia beat for beat, although they both are very similar. rittzler (pseudoregalia dev) appears in special thanks for this game's credits so i'm sure they're both on good terms! this game's movement isn't boring at all, i want to make absolutely clear. it opens up on a slow burn kinda like pseudoregalia in fact. if you read the above paragraph and are going to write this game off, you're doing yourself a disservice. just get it and enjoy the vibes. 3.5 hours (on the save slot) for $5 USD is a value proposition that doesn't exist anymore, and i'm going back in for more later to get all the collectibles. (4.5 ish after getting all collectibles, i also played until 5.5 hours just moving around all the levels at lightspeed)

Игрушка классная!!! Хотел поиграть во что-то подобие Peudoregaila, и в Twitter-е наткнулся на пост с этой игрой недавно и решил добавить желаемое и сегодня купил. Я хоть и чу-чуть поиграл, но мне уже нравится игра. А так рекомендую!!!

This is like a genuinely charming love-letter to Pseudoregalia, a little rougher around the edges but with some really advanced movement tech and glitches that are a ton of fun to explore and combine. The menus and saving system really need a bit of polish, but the core mobility puzzles are already both interesting and very rewarding to solve (or break with funky movement combos). Works beautifully with UEVR (same as Pseudoregalia).

I played this game twice through already and i'm going to play it a 3rd time. This is the first platformer i have ever played, and its going to be the only one i play. Music is perfect, the atmosphere and general vibe is pleasing to the eye, story is super fun. I recommend using a controller for fluid gameplay. 10/10. You will love it, i recommend it to anybody looking for a fun and unique experience.

Had a lot of fun with this one. I *think* I found everything currently in the game. Allegedly some content isn't fully finished yet, but the main 5 dungeons sure are there! Had a lot of fun with the platforming, there's variety in ways you can approach thing and secret techniques for skilled gamers which I always appreciate. You can build a lot of speed and get infinite height in the late game so you have a lot of flexibility in how you can approach things. The only things I can really knock it for is that it wasn't very clear where I was meant to get my first post tutorial upgrade. I ended up doing two sequence breaks early on simply because I couldn't find the correct path and was confused on how to progress past that not knowing I was missing many things. Just ever so slightly more guidance in that aspect would have helped. At the same time though, it is cool I could perform sequence breaks with platforming. Also it's woke. 8/12
