About the Game

Neo-Ostia, 2077. Rain. Neon. Rust. A dead coastline dragged into the future and left there to rot.

You are Him — a nobody from the gutters, with no status, no legacy, and no reason left to care.

Except for Fiocco.

Your white cat is the last thing in your life that still matters.

Then the Syndicate comes for him.

Don Bianco’s men rip Fiocco away and leave you bleeding in an alley, just another body in a city built on disposable people.

You should have died there.

Instead, Olls finds you.

Elegant, infernal, and smiling like he already owns the room, Olls offers you a deal: power enough to survive, kill, and take your cat back.

The price is simple.

Every soul you reap belongs to him.

Now the streets of Neo-Ostia become a warzone. Fight through escalating waves of Syndicate grunts, cybernetic enforcers, elite killers, and towering bosses in a brutal top-down horde shooter built around manual gunplay, aggressive movement, and tactical support abilities.

Shoot. Dash. Reposition. Survive.

Push through the city, tear through the Syndicate, and claw your way back to Fiocco.

Explore a rain-soaked coastal district where ancient ruins, mafia strongholds, and decaying high-tech infrastructure collide.

  • Neon reflections on flooded streets

  • Holograms hanging over Roman ruins

  • Rusted public spaces controlled by armed criminal power

  • Fortress-like mansions hiding wealth, cruelty, and superstition

Neo-Ostia is not a city of hope.

The Syndicate rules Neo-Ostia like a private kingdom, controlling resources, territory, and fear through military-grade hardware and old-world mafia obsession.

Face a growing roster of enemies designed to overwhelm, trap, and break you:

  • rushing melee swarms

  • ranged suppressors

  • tanks that crush your space

  • trappers that deny movement

  • support enemies that turn chaos into slaughter

  • elite enforcers and bosses with distinct combat identities

And at the center of it all waits Don Bianco, the man who took Fiocco — and the empire you’ll have to tear apart to reach him.

High-intensity top-down horde shooter combat

Manual shooting, constant movement, and arena pressure are the heart of the experience. Standing still is how you die.

Weapons with distinct playstyles

Choose your loadout from a growing arsenal of ranged weapons, each with its own role, rhythm, and special ability.

Tactical infernal abilities

Use support powers like Fireball, Big Claws, and Demonic Chef to create space, punish groups, or survive overwhelming pressure.

Boss fights and elite encounters

Battle powerful Syndicate enforcers and major bosses that test your aim, timing, positioning, and control under pressure.

Meta-progression and loadout building

Earn Euri, unlock new weapons and abilities, and prepare for the next run with stronger options and smarter loadouts.

Get stronger. Go deeper. And try not to owe more to the devil than you already do.
