How it feels

A frantic pixel-art dash to the right where every step tightens the noose of encroaching darkness, blending charming anime aesthetics with the cruel tension of roguelike permadeath.

What players say

Players enjoy the tension of fleeing the encroaching darkness while building their character. The game is simple to learn but offers meta progression and unlockable classes. Some find the keyboard controls awkward and wish for customizable key bindings.
