About the Game

You are Unit ***, a soldier who was tasked to do a yearly expedition to The Flesh by The Authority, the government that rules over everything. Your Mission: Find and gather data about The Heart of The Flesh, and why it is eating up all of humanity.

Fight your way through The Flesh, an always changing living dungeon! The dungeon is alive in this horror-inspired rogues. The dungeon warps to your actions, sending evil creatures to go on the hunt.

A bullet hell to test your limits. Every encounter will test your skill. Will you be able to gather the pieces from fallen soldiers to be strong enough to get closer to The Heart? Only those who master their movement and dashing can survive... Even when you die, another unit will replace you the following year.

Purchase upgrades and saves money in a bank for future runs. But only if you can get that far. Only those who can use what they find and fight their way through can get access to specialty shops to help with future runs. All rewards come with a cost.

6 areas to die in total. Each stronger than the last. Each area has new enemies and new bosses, with new mechanics made for one reason: to make you die. Will you become skilled enough to get far, or fall deep into like the Flesh like a corpse?

Are you ready to die? Your expected survival rate is 0%, unless maybe you are skilled and lucky enough to survive.
