How it feels

A stripped-down, intense bullet hell where you only aim while pre-scripted actions and music carry the drama forward.

What players say

Players praise the unique blend of bullet-hell and visual novel storytelling, noting the gameplay is heavily scripted and synced to the music. The difficulty spikes sharply, and the story is short with a sidestory. Many lament that development appears to have stalled.
