a lonely skeleton explores a hostile interconnected underground world with deliberate, punishing retro platforming and a pervasive sense of dread.

What players say

Players describe a very short Metroidvania that takes 1-2 hours and is a bargain at its low price. The controls are responsive, but the game plays like the original NES Metroid with large rooms and heavy backtracking. Some call the difficulty an illusion of patience rather than skill. Opinions are mixed on whether the forced back-and-forth traversal is enjoyable.
