How it feels

A blistering, chaotic VR shooter that blends explosive parkour, grappling hook, and flesh-rending weapons into a wild, creative rampage against a dystopian background with a darkly humorous edge.

What players say

Players praise the fast-paced parkour and grappling hook but warn the driving is frustrating and often buggy. Combat feels solid except for bullet-sponge enemies in later sections. Many note the game is a promising VR campaign brought down by overall jank, and that the studio disbanded in late 2024.
