How it feels
A tense, punishing 2D action-platformer where precise parries and exploration of a hand-drawn, mythic alien realm drive a vengeful narrative.

What players say
Players praise the parry-focused combat, comparing it to Sekiro and Hollow Knight. The final boss is widely considered the most challenging part, with multiple phases and a steep difficulty spike. The story and art style are frequently highlighted as strong points, though some find the dialogue tedious and the early-game exploration frustrating.
