How it feels

A lonely, meditative challenge under the night sky where mastering a single difficult movement feels rewarding.

What players say

Players praise the unique mix of basketball and horror, but warn about a steep difficulty spike and one boss that requires unintuitive timing the game never explains. Some call it a better basketball game than NBA 2K, though others find the shooting feel unnatural and the game too short for the price.
