A fast-paced, darkly atmospheric first-person shooter where you leap and fight through a digital simulation to recover lost artifacts.

What players say

Players describe it as a cross between Mirror's Edge and Assassin's Creed, set in an animus-like simulation. The parkour movement is the highlight, but reviews are split on the gunplay: enemies are bullet sponges and require headshots. Players also note the game is short, with the prologue showing most of what's on offer, and a spike in difficulty early on stops many from finishing.
