How it feels
A brisk, atmospheric side-scrolling action game with a tense sci-fi setting, focused on exploring a space station to find upgrades and escape.

What players say
Players praise it as a short, focused metroidvania that clearly takes inspiration from Metroid Fusion, finishing in 2 to 3 hours. Reviews are split on a late-game chase sequence that some call poorly designed and a risk for softlocks, while others find the bosses challenging but fair. It runs well on Steam Deck.
