About the Game

Welcome to The Chrysalis

A cybernetic dreamscape where consciousness drifts freely. Neon chasms, torrents of data, and the blurred boundary between flesh and machine—everything here is rewritten by code, yet filled with dangerously real desires and threats.

Follow your guide, Mayoi, as you step deeper into this city where the virtual and the physical intertwine. Uncover its radiance and its shadows, confront its mysteries, and survive its battles.

Classic Beat ’em Up Action, Reinvented!

  • Experience the thrill of fluid, old-school brawler combat—every punch hits hard, every combo flows like a storm.

  • With the innovative Command Input system, each skill hides multiple branching moves. Master the inputs, unlock deeper tech, and unleash ultimate arcade satisfaction!

Seize. Switch. Dominate!

  • With the game’s unique Override System, you can steal an enemy’s abilities in the heat of battle and turn them into your own temporary weapons.

  • Each cyborg body comes with its own finely crafted traits and combat style.
    Every override becomes a brand-new way to break through the fight—the battlefield shifts because you decide what to become.

Three Core Systems, Endless Builds!

  • Your playstyle is shaped by three key systems:
    Override Cores define your combat identity.
    Combat Extensions drive your combo engine.
    Enhancement Chips push your performance beyond its limits.

  • Mix and match freely to create hundreds of unique combat builds—your style, your rules!

Grow Stronger in Every Dimension!

  • Power isn’t just about gear.
    Unique character traits, in-run evolutions, and deep ability upgrades all work together to forge a path where you fight more and grow faster.
    Every battle leaves you stronger than the last.
