How it feels

A punishing action RPG where you possess enemies to use their own abilities against them, exploring horrific worlds with a dark fantasy aesthetic.

What players say

Players praise the body usurping mechanic and local co-op, but warn about game-breaking bugs, tracking attacks, and a very short 3-4 hour playthrough with no replayability. Opinions split on the difficulty, with some calling it engaging and others saying it relies on cheap one-hit deaths.
