How it feels

A slick black-and-white Metroidvania that feels like fluid exploration and combat in a monochrome world.

What players say

Players describe it as a short, beginner-friendly metroidvania heavily inspired by Animal Well, with a black-and-white art style. Many note the inability to rebind keys, repetitive boss patterns, and about 2 hours to 100% it.
