How it feels

A tense and unforgiving survival horror where procedurally generated levels and permadeath force you to rely on wits and stealth to evade an AI predator.

What players say

A procedurally generated cargo ship traps you with one of three monsters, each with distinct AI. Players love the tension but split on whether the repetitive layout and luck-based item hunting are frustrating or part of the charm.
