How it feels
A frantic blend of chess strategy and survival horror where you race against time while pills warp your focus and calm, making every move a tense gamble.

What players say
Players like the tense timed chess puzzle concept and the pills twist, but note the puzzles start repeating quickly and a bug that makes pieces invisible has gone unfixed since 2023.
