About the Game

We've recently updated our demo — the first third of the game is now available for free! Once you're done, you can continue where you left off in the full game.

Carving through hordes of horrors isn’t the only thing your boomerang is good for: once thrown, you can slingshot directly to it, preserving momentum and launching yourself through the air. Slow down time and use well-aimed throws to get around, above, and behind your foes. Speed is everything, and only the nimblest boomerang-er will survive…

Fight otherworldly forces and look cool doing it. Impress the boomerang with stylish tricks and it’ll grant you strange powers to let you defeat the forces of the depths with greater ease. Kaspidae smiles upon you and your killer moves…

They creep and crawl from crevices, swoop and dive from the treetops, and spray nasty bile at you from all angles. Keep your wits about you — nowhere is safe. Whatever you do, don’t stand still, or you’ll surely be consumed...

Fight your way through the bowels of a ruined civilization and stop the nightmares from spreading to the rest of your world. Something lurks deep underneath these ruined halls, spewing corruption… can you defeat whatever it is? And even if you can… will that really be the end?
