How it feels

A fast-paced top-down shooter with pixel graphics and horror themes, where you fight waves of supernatural monsters in arcade-style action.

What players say

Players call this a fun but rough top-down shooter with a grind that becomes punishing near the end. The game is short if you skip grinding, and its randomly generated levels keep runs varied, though enemies are weak and respawning gets repetitive. Some rooms bug out and require restarting, and the collectible system is pure RNG.
