How it feels

A pixel-art Metroidvania where you explore a nonlinear dark fantasy world as a female protagonist, with deliberate progression and combat.

What players say

Players are split on this short metroidvania. Many praise the pixel art, atmosphere, and music, but a vocal group reports unresponsive controls, a janky first boss, and a minimal map without markers. The game takes roughly 4 to 7 hours to complete.
