A whimsical and gritty skeleton's adventure through a post-apocalyptic world, mixing heavy combat, body part collection, and side quests with old-school pixel art and multiple endings.

What players say

Players love the chaotic fun, memorable boss fights, and fantastic soundtrack. The game is very hard, but a forgiving easy mode lets everyone finish it. One reviewer mentioned hitboxes need work and suspected AI music, while others compare it to Undertale or Nintendo DS era games.
