How it feels
Trapped in a shifting non-euclidean labyrinth, each run is a tense, disorienting push forward against fourth-dimensional horrors with permanent consequences.

What players say
Players praise the lo-fi VHS aesthetic and eerie soundtrack, but many say the controls feel clumsy and the dash is unreliable. The game is compared to The Binding of Isaac as a side-scrolling roguelite, with opinions split on whether its unpolished mechanics ruin the experience.
