A somber and atmospheric 2D platformer where you cautiously explore a hostile, post-apocalyptic fortress to save a loved one.

What players say

Players consistently note this is not a metroidvania, instead it is a roguelike-like where you hide from a monster and cannot fight back. Each death adds a negative debuff with no progression, which many find frustrating. The hand-drawn art and music are praised, but the lack of a map and direction divides players.
