How it feels

A tense, fast-paced top-down action game with a shifting minimalist palette and a reactive soundtrack that builds with each chapter.

What players say

Players praise the hand-drawn art and calming music, but warn the game gets brutally challenging, especially with gold times in later chapters. Some call it too short or wish for more difficulty, while others note a controller is needed and the story gets overshadowed by the difficulty.
