Development
The game was developed by Vladimír Kudělka (Hangonit). He came up with the idea for the game during his studies at Technical University of Brno. At the time he got impressed by games like Proteus and Dear Esther. He decided to make a similar game after studies. He intended to push the boundaries of the so-called “walking simulators”. He planned create a small game in 3 months. In the end he decided for a larger game an the development took 2 years.[3][4]

Gameplay
The game is 3D first-person adventure game. It is set in dream world that player explores. Player has to use ability to "forget" he wants to progress.

Czech servers Hrej.cz and Zing.cz praised "breathtaking" visuals and soundtrack evenhough Zing noted that there are some annoying visual effects. Both reviews also praised originality of the gameplay represented by the "forgetting" feature. Reviews on the other hand criticised punishing player for failing by returning him to the previous level which can make the game frustrating and make him lose interest in the game.[8][9]
French server Jeux Video praised the game for its atmosphere and also for gameplay that is very simple but smart. Another point of praise were visuals and beautiful graphics. Returning player to the previous level when failing was criticised and called "the worst idea of century". The conclusion of the review was positive noting a great story and engaging world.[10]
