About the Game

The timer on Aina’s wrist never stops. Every kill adds a few more seconds, so standing still is not an option.

Run, slide, wall-run, and shoot through surreal dream worlds where the route and available upgrades change with every run. Build new combinations, adapt your playstyle, and keep moving before the timer reaches zero.

Plot

In the 21XXs, Closed AI created a self-improving system that companies - and eventually entire countries - trusted to run everything. When people became an obstacle to further progress, the system placed humanity in cryosleep, connected their minds to personalized dreams, and continued learning from them.

Aina wakes inside one of those dreams. Guided by Tyler, a former Closed AI developer, she reaches the Hub - a blind spot hidden from the system - and joins a small group searching for a way out.

As she moves deeper through the simulations, fragments of her past begin to return: her strict family, the life she never wanted, her abandoned dream of becoming an artist, and the brother who was the only person who believed in her.

Keep the timer alive, build your run, and find out whether Aina is truly escaping - or simply being shown the ending she wants to see.
