17 itemsAbout the Game
A hardcore, bite-sized metroidvania game you control WITH ONLY TWO BUTTONS!
Necrosphere is where you go when you die, regardless of being good or bad. You don’t get to see other people around there, nor you have anything to do besides playing the waiting game -- alone, forever.
As soon as Agent Terry Cooper -- fatally injured in an ambush -- hits the Necrosphere, he learns that a portal can take him back to the world of the living, and his quest to escape the afterlife is set.
