How it feels
A mix of third-person shooting and cerebral puzzles where you constantly swap between distinct alien clones to survive and progress through a derelict space station.

What players say
Players are split on this indie 3D puzzler with a body-swapping gimmick. Many appreciate the unique mechanic and puzzle design, but just as many call it a slow, clunky shooter that is not a metroidvania despite the store page saying so. It runs on weak PCs, but the cel-shaded art and forgettable audio feel dated to some.
