How it feels
A challenging, retro-styled first-person shooter with a moody, Lovecraftian atmosphere and non-linear exploration through surreal, non-Euclidean spaces.

What players say
Players praise the trippy vector visuals and space-warping level design, but are split on the game: the first half is a laid-back metroidvania, the second half becomes a relentless horde shooter with scarce healing. The whole thing is short at around 1-2 hours.
