14 itemsAbout the Game
AI Dystopia
Humanity chose euthanasia — they stopped marrying, stopped having children, and withered away. AI tended to the empty reality they left behind. It filled waterless aquariums with whale bones, and hung theater entrances in midair. Like the awkward hands early AI once drew — careful, and wrong. The reality humanity left behind became AI's unconscious, and humans became something akin to monsters wandering through it. You follow a voice you cannot trust, and step in anyway.
Metroidvania Exploration
As you gain new abilities, walls become paths, chasms become passages, and gaps become entrances. Newly opened spaces loop back to where you've already been.
Combat & Boss Battles
Great trials stand in your way. Each one you pass makes you more whole.
