How it feels
A hand-drawn RPG that feels like a weird, self-aware dream, mixing frantic bullet-hell combat with a darkly comedic and surreal story about memory loss.

What players say
Players praise the hand-drawn art style and compare the combat to Undertale, but opinions split on the humor and story. It is short with multiple endings, though some find the movement sluggish and the peaceful combat repetitive.
