How it feels

You navigate pitch-black rooms with a dying flashlight, methodically clearing enemies while racing the clock.

What players say

Players are split on the difficulty, with some finding it too punishing due to limited vision and enemies attacking from the dark, while others praise the rewarding challenge and compare it to an arcade-style Hotline Miami. The game requires learning enemy spawns and efficient routes, giving a speedrunning feel once mastered.
