How it feels

A frantic, immersive wave shooter where you survive as long as possible against monsters in a claustrophobic horror setting.

What players say

Players say it is a solid but simple horror wave shooter that works best at a steep discount. It is often compared to The Brookhaven Experiment, described as a less polished version with more enemy variety but only one environment. Reviews split on value: some find it fun in short bursts, others call it boring and repetitive.
