About the Game

The gods built this world, then left it to rot. Their once-gleaming spires have grown monstrous, a living prison made of endless, ever-shifting machinery. Smash your way out and reclaim your place in the cosmos.

Smash Your Prison

The walls are closing in. Literally. As the machine reacts to your presence, you'll learn to absorb and reflect its destructive power.

Wield Godlike Power

You wield Cathexis, a divine wrecking ball shattering the structure around you. Supercharge and ricochet your way to thundering, unexpected combos, upgrading your way to freedom.

Morphing Megastructures

The living architecture has a mind of its own, and constantly reconfigures itself to throw new, dynamic challenges your way. You'll need both force and cunning to outwit its cruel designs.
