How it feels

A lonely journey through an underground cave system with a self-reloading musket, mixing historical setting with sci-fi elements and challenging combat.

What players say

Players agree it is a very short, budget metroidvania from a first-time developer. They warn of a miserable opening before the first upgrade, sparse enemy variety, and long empty corridors, but say the bosses are enjoyable and the low price makes it worth a look for tolerant players.
