About the Game

Play as Patch, an adapting virus in a world he shouldn't belong in.

Face off against the Warden, who guards the gate, in an inevitable fight against fate. Featuring an atmospheric top down overworld, and a single boss battle that pays tribute to the MMBN grid battle system. 

Can you reach the end? Or rather, how many times will you repeat the inevitable?
