How it feels

A visceral, retro-inspired first-person shooter where you frantically swim through enemy blood to survive while managing a constantly draining health bar.

What players say

Players consistently say the game is fun but extremely short, often finishing in under 30 minutes. Many feel it is more of a proof of concept than a full game, with limited content variety, and some report frequent crashes.
