How it feels

You pilot a mech on a hostile alien planet, managing scarce resources while fending off unseen horrors in perpetual darkness, with moments of vulnerability when the mech fails.

What players say

Players call it a cute 2D Iron Lung with a neat twist at the end, but it is only 5 to 10 minutes long. Some struggle with the confusing early game and wish for quality-of-life patches and more optional endings.
