Story
You’re exhausted.
Jane is stuck in a city that feeds on her doubts, fears, and unresolved grief.
By night, she fights monsters born from her own shadow.
By day, she barely holds herself together.
This is not a story about saving the world.
It’s about surviving yourself — and what happens when you fail to.
Gameplay
SLASH YOUR WAY through an interconnected city
Save your progress in Photobooths.
Heal through Streetlamps and a rechargeable Lighter that rewards aggression.
When you die, you leave everything behind.
To get it back, you must face your Shadow — a version of you that fights exactly like you do.
Balance two currencies:
Happiness — spendable, fragile, easily lost
Misery — earned through risk, used for growth
Choose how much you’re willing to suffer to become stronger.
Two modes shape the experience:
Nightmare — intended, punishing, and rewarding
Daydream — forgiving systems with the same combat challenge
Block, parry, kick, and break the enemy's poise.
Unlock shortcuts.
