How it feels

a fast-paced, dark and surreal action game with a punishing difficulty and an atmospheric, mysterious feel

What players say

Players describe a fast-paced, tough little roguelike with randomly generated levels and a low-budget look. It is fun for a few bucks, though players disagree on its polish: some praise its humor (Brazilian items like a SUS card) while others note the lack of an early dash and relentless enemies that make combat feel like a hit-and-run.
