A mysterious narrative, as well as numerous secrets and surprises, await brave and inquisitive players. 

Press reviews: “This shmup was built with a focus on art and the theme of aesthetics. From the ship, stages, and the bosses everything has a symbolic meaning. Honestly speaking you're committing a crime by not playing this.” Game Skinny “This is a slick package with excellent production values, and the levels are enjoyable and highly replayable.” Cubed3
