How it feels

A tense, atmospheric 2D action platformer with punishing combat, dark electronic music, and a surreal, nightmarish world.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere, music, and art, but split on the controls: early reviews demanded custom key bindings, which later players confirm were added. The game is a pure run-and-gun platformer with no story or cutscenes, throwing you straight into action.
