How it feels

A relentless arcade shooter with retro pixel graphics and low-frequency guttural sound design that creates a tense, dark atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the body horror visuals and atmosphere but are split on the gameplay. Many call the difficulty unfair: enemies one-shot you, make no sound, and clip through walls. Some say it is a fun challenge like Devil Daggers, while others find it tedious and too dark.
