How it feels
A relentlessly grim and darkly comedic post-apocalyptic RPG that forces you to make cruel, permanent sacrifices while pushing a pixelated 2D world of moral desolation.

What players say
Players praise the story and its ludo-narrative design, but are split on the gameplay, with some finding it tedious and the tonal shifts jarring. The game forces tough, permanent decisions and is unforgiving, yet its dark humor and soundtrack keep many coming back.
