About the Game

I escaped the poultry farm, and now the world is starting to crumble. Screw it—let's make a run for space!

The protagonist of this world is a chicken who, despite its small and humble appearance, is the one and only pillar holding up the balance of the world. Its destiny is tied to the Earth; the moment it steps out of place, the world is designed to collapse. However, the chicken's minor, innocent curiosity about the outside world leads it to commit the taboo of escaping the farm, sparking an unprecedented apocalypse of crumbling lands and warped space.

The further the chicken runs, the more violently the world disintegrates. You must survive by precariously leaping across crumbling terrains and twisting structures in real-time, with no choice but to keep moving forward.

This is a paradoxical journey of a flightless creature kicking off a dying Earth to reach the stars. It is the most selfish yet magnificent escape story ever told, capturing the irony where 'personal freedom' clashes with 'responsibility for the world'—all set against a delightfully chaotic backdrop.

[Key Features]

  • Real-time Terrain Destruction: Experience a tense chase where everything collapses the moment you pass through.

  • High-Stakes Control: Master the desperate, heart-pounding jump and evasion actions of a flightless chicken.

  • Philosophical Narrative: A fun yet ironic story exploring the conflict between 'personal freedom' and 'responsibility for the world.'

  • Multiple Endings: Discover various conclusions to your journey based on the special items you collect along the way.
