How it feels

A tense, abstract horror bullet-hell where you survive a single relentless boss fight by creatively dodging and collecting orbs in a dark silhouette world.

What players say

Players call this a brutally hard boss rush where everything one-hits you and attack patterns are random, making each attempt feel both skill-based and luck-based. The dash-only movement is snappy for some, but others find it imprecise and frustrating. It is short, players report beating the game in under 20 minutes, but the endless mode and "one more run" loop keep people coming back.
