How it feels

A procedurally generated top-down shooter RPG where each death reshuffles a curious world and interactive music carries you forward with a sliver of experience.

What players say

Players are split on this abstract twin-stick shooter. Some enjoy the sense of discovery and unique visual style, but many find it confusing with no clear direction or explanation. The game speed can spike unpredictably, and several reviewers say it feels unfinished or that the gameplay loop grows stale after 15 minutes. There is also disagreement on whether it can be finished at all.
