How it feels

A short, hybrid perspective shooter that feels like a cinematic exploration of free will, mixing moments of action and abstract atmosphere.

What players say

Players describe a very short, style-rich experience leaning heavily on existentialist dialogue and a PSX-inspired look. The combat draws from Killer7 but reviews say the controls feel rough and a skip area glitch can cut the run below 20 minutes.
