The WhatsNext verdict

For Fans of puzzle-platformers who appreciate dark comedy, clever room-by-room mechanics, and concise narrative adventures.: Puzzles revolve around creating disposable clones of yourself to trigger switches, absorb hazards, and solve environmental obstacles, all framed by a delightfully morbid dystopian sense of humor. Tradeoff: The campaign is notably short and stays relatively gentle in difficulty, never fully exploring the maximum complexity its cloning premise promises.

What it does best

  • Clever clone-based puzzles built around delightful sacrifice

  • A gleefully dark sense of humor

  • Distinctive cute-gory pixel presentation

What might put you off

  • Very short and lightly challenging

  • Promising concept with limited follow-through
