About
A rail shooter with a heavy emphasis on audiovisual elements in which a hacker attempts to breach an AI integral for the continuation of the human race to prevent it from shutting down due to information overload.
What players say
A hypnotic on-rails shooter where every shot builds into pulsing trance music and Kandinsky-inspired visuals, creating a synesthetic, almost meditative high. A beloved cult art-game experience.
