How it feels

You wander a silent, eerie Neo-Tokyo, guided by a fragile AI companion while something unnatural stalks you from the shadows.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere and story but warn that the pixel-art maze is easy to get lost in. The permadeath is divisive: some call it a tense challenge, others find it punishing when combined with rare softlocks. Most agree the game has no combat and relies on exploration and puzzles.
