How it feels

It's a frantic, fast-paced first-person shooter that feels like a chaotic dash through a constantly shifting dungeon where death is permanent and success requires quick reflexes.

What players say

Players praise the fast, old-school FPS action with wall running and impactful weapons, comparing it to Quake, Doom, and Painkiller. Some find the movement relies too much on bunny hopping, and the game is a 3D bullet hell from the start. Community sentiment says the solo developer rebuilt the entire game after an accident, but development has been slow.
