How it feels

You dash through neon-lit dungeon rooms as a cardboard robot, hacking enemies, then haggle over loot with traders in a quirky sci-fi shop.

What players say

Players call this a polished, addictive roguelite with charming cardboard visuals and a satisfying haggling mechanic, but find it short at 3-5 hours and on the easy side. Some say melee vastly outclasses ranged options and room variety is limited.
