How it feels

A disorienting, high-speed descent into a dark digital world that feels like navigating a glitching, feverish mind.

What players say

Players say the game has an interesting visual style and satisfying stroop-test gameplay, but development has stalled with few updates for years, and sections have been removed due to copyright issues. Reviews are split: some love the arcade loop despite the bugs, while others point to the developer's hostile behavior and use of AI-generated assets as reasons not to buy.
