A charming but demanding retro metroidvania where you explore alien worlds, solve puzzles, and fight with quirky demons.

What players say
Players compare it favorably to Cave Story in art style and cast, but the lategame draws sharp complaints: precision platforming with clunky controls, rare checkpoints, and a steep difficulty spike. Those who love optional challenge rooms and exploration praise it, while others warn the narrative feels shallow and the game is hard even with health upgrades.
