Navigating a pitch-black world using memory and glowing projectiles feels tense and disorienting, with a constant sense of being watched.

What players say

Players praise the unique darkness mechanic, making the game a tense trial-and-error platformer where every level is shrouded in black. Death is instant but respawns are quick, encouraging memorization across 100 levels and four boss fights. Some find the final level's precision demands too punishing to finish.
