How it feels

A tense and deliberate stealth-platformer where you creep through pixelated shadows, craft tools, and strike swiftly as a shinobi.

What players say

Players praise the fast-paced ninja action and challenging combat, comparing it to Sekiro and Tenchu. However, many criticize clunky controls and a poorly centered camera that shows too much underground space, with some calling it unplayable.
