A silent black-and-white puzzle platformer about a boy searching a deadly forest for his sister. Its grim mood, giant spider and wordless storytelling made it one of the first indie games everyone talked about.

Tips
Play it better
- Dying is part of learning each trap. Checkpoints are frequent, so experiment.
- Push and pull objects to see how they react before committing to a jump.
- Watch for light changes and sounds. They often hint at a trap.
- In the gravity sections, take it slow and read the room before switching.
- Ropes and boxes can be swung or dragged to bridge gaps. Try moving every object before assuming a jump is impossible.
