Beautiful 2D platformer with thoughtful puzzle design and exceptional soundtrack.
Our analysis
A delightful cinematic puzzle platformer with gorgeous Ghibli-esque visuals, strong environmental storytelling, and well-designed cooperative puzzles between Lana and her cat-like companion Mui. Companion controls are less responsive than the otherwise solid platforming, some puzzles repeat or frustrate, and it is short, but it runs surprisingly well at 60fps on Switch and comes together brilliantly by its end.
Our analysis
Charming 4-5 hour adventure with striking visual beauty and strengthening companion bond. Puzzle mechanics are solid but not groundbreaking—once you learn basics, later segments feel like extensions of existing knowledge. Some stealth sections frustrating with tight timing windows. Worth a night off from massive releases to experience a rich, full world in succinct package. Official score: 8/10.

WatchOur analysis
A beautiful cinematic puzzle platformer carried by painterly visuals, a seamless 3D/2D art mix, and a sweeping score. The puzzles, often built around separating Lana from her cat-like companion Mooie, are well executed but relatively easy and unoriginal, and the simple, vibe-driven story lacks real depth or emotional punch. At around 3.5 hours it avoids overstaying its welcome but feels notably short, appealing mainly to existing fans of the subgenre.
