How it feels

A side-scrolling shoot 'em up with hand-drawn gothic visuals and a surreal horror story, offering balanced arcade action that feels accessible rather than punishing.

What players say

Players praise the art, music, and unique style but are split on the gameplay. Many criticize the backwards text, unchangeable keyboard controls, unfair difficulty, and bad hitboxes. Some enjoy the challenge and inventive mechanics, while others call it overly pretentious and janky.
