How it feels
Playing as a possessed angel, you skulk through a grimy future city, hijacking bodies to wreak chaotic, absurd violence in a darkly comedic stealth-action puzzle.

What players say
Players praise the unique body swapping mechanic and unhinged setting, but the Steam port is widely considered broken on Windows 10 and 11, crashing early and requiring manual patching that often breaks the music.
