RUN, JUMP, ESCAPE.
Endlessly high buildings of dead ruins are towering over a giant chasm of green thick mist. But the reality of our world is seeping in, and some familiar places are now stuck there. This is how you are invited there - against your will.
The BACKWORLDS are dry and decayed ; but this place is not unhabited. They are of all size and shape, and are all eager to see you fall or play with your corpse.
Yet in this horrifying and alien world, there is hope. A pink star can be seen shining through the sky, your only guide left. Only one way to reach it : adapt to this world and outsmart the creatures chasing you. There will be no respite, there will be no rest. You must stay strong, live, and run.

- IMMERSE yourself in this horrifying adventure and unravel the mysteries of this dark decaying realm.
- JOURNEY through the remains the crumbling ruins of a long dead civilization, and reach the mysterious pink star, your only guide in this place.
- ADAPT to the dangers that surrounds you. You are no fighter : against some of your chasers, you will have to run faster - for some quicker creatures, you'll have to be quick-witted.
- HIDE when there are no options left.
- CHALLENGE yourself by timing your levels completitions using your running skills.
