About the Game

Hemisync Based Astral Projection

Defend your Kundalini energy spiral from the DMT elves. Place esoteric towers along a growing maze and stop waves of psychic invaders before they reach its center. Every kill brings Gnosis to spend on your defenses and psychic energy toward your next visit to the Akashik Records.

Unravel the Conspiracy

Pyramids, Third Eyes, Ankhs and other occult towers form your arsenal. Mix attacking towers with support effects, choose where to build, and decide when an upgrade is worth more than another tower. Pause to plan, then watch your defense go to work.

Access the Akashik Records

Fill your psychic-energy meter to access the Akashik Records and choose from three rewards. Add a tower, strengthen your arsenal, take a consumable, or bring a conspiracy card into your build. Each choice gives you a new way to approach the next wave.

The Akashik Records displays three reward cards with their effects and selection buttons.

Begin the Great Awakening.

Conspiracy cards change the rules of a run. Find effects that complement your towers, stack compatible bonuses, and experiment with combinations. Your defense is more than the towers you place: it is the build taking shape around them.

Obtain Gnosis

Defeat psychic invaders to obtain Gnosis, then spend it to strengthen your defenses. Extend the paths through a procedurally generated maze, face tougher waves, and see how long your mind can hold. When a run ends, try a different approach.



  • Single-player tower defense with roguelite build choices.
  • An esoteric arsenal of attacking and supporting towers.
  • Rewards from the Akashik Records: towers, upgrades, conspiracy cards and consumables.
