How it feels

A retro 80s-inspired action-adventure that feels like a neon-drenched, emotional quest through a digital world.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and synthwave music for delivering 80s nostalgia, but many criticize the controls as floaty and the combat as clunky. There is notable disagreement: some find the game easy and enjoyable, while others call the platforming awful and say backtracking is frustrating.
