How it feels

A methodical 2D exploration game with pixel graphics and a focus on upgrading equipment while uncovering a mystery on an abandoned Martian colony.

What players say

Players praise its old-school Metroidvania feel with tight controls and a steep difficulty curve that rewards grinding for upgrades. It is short, around 4 to 6 hours, and some point out the map is confusing and areas look identical. A few reviewers note allegations of stolen assets from other games.
