How it feels

You guide a single bullet through dark, tactical puzzles where every shot must be ruthless and precise against a cult.

What players say

Players describe a stylish puzzle shooter where you chain kills in one bullet. The game is short at about 5 hours, with instant restarts that encourage trial and error. Opinions split on the story, which some call a nothingburger while others praise the dark vibes. A few report a nausea-inducing visual filter and a glitchy level at high frame rates.
