❤ Wielding a Flickering Lamp

At the core of the gameplay, players control a young girl named Millie as she navigates through twisted, memory-warped environments. The player's primary tool is a small, flickering lamp, which serves as both a source of illumination and a means of defense against the supernatural threats that lurk in the darkness. Players must strategically manage the lamp's limited fuel, using its light to fend off the encroaching shadows and uncover the path forward.

❤ Solving Multifaceted Puzzles

Progressing through the game's levels requires players to engage with a variety of puzzles and challenges. These range from environmental conundrums that task the player with manipulating light and shadows, to more traditional logic-based riddles that block progression until the correct solution is discovered. The puzzles strike a balance between being "challenging yet not impossible," providing a sense of accomplishment when solved while still presenting a meaningful obstacle to overcome.

❤ Immersive Atmosphere and Exploration

The game's presentation is a standout element, with the dark color palette, eerie ambiance, and ever-present threat of darkness creating a tense and unsettling atmosphere. Players often find themselves emotionally invested in Millie's journey, as the game delves into themes of childhood fears and the trauma associated with them. Thorough exploration of the "whimsical worlds of memories, distorted by fear and despair" is rewarded with the discovery of key narrative elements and hidden secrets, further enhancing the sense of immersion.
