How it feels

A fast, minimalist roguelite FPS with retro graphics where you frantically manage scarce ammo and health while blasting or sneaking through a tower.

What players say

Players describe this as a very short FPS, finishing in 20 to 40 minutes. The core loop has you climbing an office building, stealing keycards from managers, and fighting robots. Opinions are split: some call it a fun, charming roguelite with smooth controls, while others dismiss it as a low-effort tech demo with linear levels.
