How it feels

A side-scrolling action RPG with hack-and-slash combat set against a dark fantasy backdrop, where two parallel worlds collide.

What players say

Players praise the art style and combat variety, but split on the feel: some find controls responsive while others report unresponsive melee, no enemy knockback, and collision bugs. Many note it is a very short demo with no soul system implemented. Long-time players say development stalled after 2024.
