How it feels
A frantic, retro-styled first-person shooter that blends fast-paced combat with gothic Lovecraftian horror and atmospheric exploration.

What players say
Players praise the art and retro shooter feel but split on difficulty: some enjoy the simple maps and effective weapons, while others find early enemies too tanky and the first boss unfair with one-hit kills. The game is very short at under an hour, and one reviewer notes a no-reticle issue with bullet pathing.
