About the Game

TL;DR: Challenging indie swarm/boss shooter in a story rich sci-fi horror environment.

Get this game if you're:

  • craving a challenging shooter with bosses, traps, swarms and suprises

  • a lover of deep twisted lore with immersive audio, text and holographic logs

  • into bizzare environments and surreal horror experiences

Don't get this game if you're:

  • arachnophobic

  • wanting cutting edge AAA graphics

  • looking for a resource constrained action horror with an inventory and limited ammo

A linear narrative campaign...

with an anthology of twisted, disturbing tales to discover. Prepare for constant action as you traverse ship to infested ship; there's no loading screens, no inventory and unlimited ammo. You will need skill and speed to rip through the ferocious swarms and deadly bosses to get out of this corrupted hellhole in one piece. Featuring bHaptics support.
