How it feels
A pulsating, feverish rhythm of ultra-violent combat against overwhelming odds, punctuated by a surreal, neon-drenched 80s atmosphere and a pounding soundtrack that makes every failure feel like a reset in a bad dream.

What players say
Players describe a punishing trial-and-error loop where death comes instantly and retries pile up, all set to an acclaimed synth soundtrack. Many call it short, finishing in under ten hours. Opinions split on the controls, with some finding them clunky and others accepting the challenge.
