A playful, comic-book-style 2D action adventure where you sneak, jump, and hack through a colorful cyberpunk world.

What players say
Players praise the bug transformation and hacking minigames as creative twists, but opinions split on the writing and voice acting, which some find cringey. Difficulty spikes in boss fights and finicky wall jumping frustrate some, while others enjoy the challenge. The game is short, around 8-11 hours.
