How it feels

A crisp, fast-paced metroidvania where you slice and shoot through clockwork foes in a richly detailed steampunk city, uncovering a dark conspiracy one tight, pixelated corridor at a time.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and fluid combat, but nearly everyone flags the ending as abrupt and unsatisfying. The game is short for the genre and bosses are widely considered too easy, especially after collecting upgrades.
