How it feels
A darkly atmospheric, combat-heavy metroidvania where every enemy defeated and power absorbed reshapes not just your abilities, but the story itself as the narrator's memory alters the world around you.

What players say
Players praise the parry-focused combat and unique storytelling through an unreliable narrator, but split on the controls, some find them clunky and the lack of a minimap frustrating. The game is short for a metroidvania, around 10-20 hours, and rewards aggression with a challenging 3-hit health system.
