I really enjoyed this. Precision platformers aren't usually my thing; they tend to make me frustrated. However, this had a good level of difficulty where I never felt like I was banging my head against a wall. I think the music and graphics helped give it a more relaxed feel.

Theme interpretation
The theme of secrets shaped the game’s narrative and mechanics. The protagonist’s journey revolves around uncovering and confronting hidden truths. The color transition from black and white to vibrant hues represents the revealing of secrets and the emotional growth that follows. The interactions with NPCs and their angel serve as a way for Alex to confront their own secrets and embrace authenticity.
Wildcards used (optional)
Let players break the rules with things like infinite lives or invincibility
