How it feels

You explore a frozen, abandoned mall as a solitary wage slave, surviving monster encounters with careful inventory management in a bleak, minimalist world.

What players say

Players praise the unique 2D-in-3D art style and the developer's responsiveness to bugs, but note there is no tutorial and platforming is janky. The difficulty is inconsistent: some enemies do no damage while others kill in one hit. The game is short and strange, with a story that players find confusing.
