How it feels

A moody, retro-styled cinematic action-adventure that feels like a deliberately preserved classic with deliberate difficulty and a surreal post-apocalyptic atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the game's deliberate CGA corruption aesthetic and soundtrack, but are split on the intentionally low frame rate and clunky controls. It's compared to Another World and Flashback and considered hard but fair, with a very hard post-game mode.
