A precise yet permissive jetpack platformer that blends tense quarantine cleaning with an emotionally resonant story about living with contamination fears.

What players say

Players compare it to Celeste constantly, with many saying it borrows heavily but adds a unique hoverpack mechanic. Some find the controls floaty or clunky, and opinions split on whether it stands on its own or feels like a clone. The story is subtle but resonates with some, and the game is short, around five hours.
