Description
About This Game
SUBDUE YOUR NIGHTMARES
Cleave through ethereal enemies with blistering slashes, locked in a bullet-hell frenzy between waves of projectiles. Keep dodging and close in on your foes to swiftly dismantle them, or gracefully parry their bullets with resolute precision.
Almost all objects and enemies you see are slashable: When attacking them, you gain speed and become invincible for a short time, meaning that you are rewarded for maintaining momentum and playing at an electrifying pace. The time-based score system also encourages you to push your limits, embracing the exhilarating sense of freedom that comes with shredding through every obstacle that stands in your way.
This high-risk, high-reward mentality is amplified by the fact that everything on screen dies in one hit - including you. Thankfully, the absence of loading times ensures that dying won't discourage you, and the synth-based Cyberpunk soundtrack takes care of any frustration you might have left.
TRIUMPH OVER TRAUMA
Delve deeper into a gripping narrative about two tormented souls: Alexander, a dealer who always struggled with the rules around him, and Maximilian, a philanderer whose only joy left in life is mindless stimulation. Both unhappy with their present situation, they embrace the allure of a mysterious drug - a gateway to a reality where the lines between dreams and nightmares blur.
Will they conquer their demons or be consumed by the very substance that fuels their escape? Peel back the layers of their past to find out! Just make sure that you're not getting addicted to this serotonin-boosting game...
