How it feels

A brief, atmospheric third-person shooter set in a dark, authoritarian underground mining city.

What players say

Players praise the dark atmosphere and worldbuilding, but consistently note rough aiming, slow movement, and lag spikes near the end. There is no save feature and it is very short, around thirty minutes. Some call it a promising student project from DigiPen.
