How it feels

A pixel-art survival horror dating sim where each death reshapes a handcrafted, darkly funny night out in a secluded bar.

What players say

Players describe a short, absurd horror roguelike where frustration and laughter mix, built around dying repeatedly to unlock new paths and secrets. The meta humor and constant expectation subversion are highlights, but many note the corridors feel repetitive and the mechanics are bare bones. Reviews split on whether the annoyance is worth the unique experience.
