« Wildly addicting, difficult to put down... and Insane value for the price. This is something special, easily the best 11 dollars i've ever spent on a game. »👍 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 21 h played1« A great 2d sidescrolling extraction looter. Preperation helps a lot, as does careful play. Go give it a try! It will be well worth your money if you are into slow looting inventory management, with enough action to keep you on your toes. »👍 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 26 h played1« It's simply peak. Logged 12 hours in to the demo, and there's just so much content in this game. You could reasonably double it's price and it'd still be worth the money. »👍 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 13 h played« Incredible amount of content for the price. The vibes are on point and the difficulty is very, very good. Can't wait to see what this evolves into, but I'm very satisfied with what I'm playing right now. »👍 anonymous review · Sep 2026 · 29 h played« Fantastic game!
