How it feels

A tense, minimalist arcade survival horror where you manage limited resources and protect a skittish cat while escaping alien-infested floors.

What players say

Players describe this as a simple multi-directional shooter with survival horror vibes, an homage to Alien. They praise the atmosphere and cat-saving objective, but some find the maps repetitive with very few tile variations, and one reviewer noted an odd collision glitch that lost the cat.
