How it feels

A short, cinematic brawler where you fight through a deliberately soundless world as a deaf protagonist, blending live-action and CG in a pulpy story.

What players say

Players say the game is a baffling experiment where the first playthrough has no audio and no subtitles, forcing a second run just to understand the story. The combat is repetitive and clunky, the game is mostly cutscenes, and it has performance problems, though some find it fun to stream as a joke.
