How it feels

A darkly atmospheric and strategic action game where you evolve by defeating bosses in nonlinear order, demanding skill and offering replayability through unlockable abilities and speedrun modes.

What players say

Players describe Breath as a short, tough boss rush where you play as a croissant and die in one hit. They praise the speedrun and one-life modes, and some note imprecise collisions against certain bosses.
