How it feels

A tense, dark side-scrolling adventure where you fight shadow creatures with a flashlight in bullet-hell style combat.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and smooth controls, but warn of frustrating difficulty spikes that make the short game feel longer. Some find the level layouts confusing and combat becomes tedious with bullet-sponge enemies.
