An artistic metroidvania with a classic NES era gameplay, taking the player through the life of an average man escaping his depression in a partly imaginary world he created around him.
The game takes place in an old, still running business housing. Main character meets various different people on his path to find more happiness in his life.

In each environment different types of enemies await to attack you, each with its own
strengths and patterns. Improve your tactics while fighting in either of the 3 difficulties.

Apart from it's attacking power, each power is equipped with a special ability that you

secrets. Collect orbs to upgrade your powers for maximum efficiency in your fights.

At the end of each section of the building a powerful boss awaits to fight you.
Overcome your past and the fears that haunt you to regain your true self.

Buy items from the shops or obtain them from quests around the building.
Use them to unlock new areas and defeat all the enemies that block your way.
