How it feels

A deliberate, atmospheric Metroidvania where you slowly rebuild your power by exploring dark locations and reuniting with your own body.

What players say

Players praise the unique premise of a zombie hunting for its body parts and the addictive metroidvania unlock progression, but split on whether the trap-heavy platforming is satisfying or tedious. A vocal minority report bugs like rooms not loading, characters falling through floors, and save points placed too far apart, the two bosses draw consistent criticism for being repetitive.
