Reviews

“there is a lot of meaning behind the different cutscenes that you will see”
BigBossBattle

“an intriguing mixture of bleak storytelling about life as an immigrant AND a challenging action title. They seem like an odd combination at first, but tying the struggle of living life as an immigrant to a physical struggle against strange creatures (that tie in to the challenges in your life) does make for an interesting game.”

“Drugs. Cronenbergian mutants. Beat ’em up ultraviolence. Colourful 2D hallucinatory vibe. What’s not to like? This is clearly a labour of love, dealing unreservedly about being uprooted and chemically imbalanced. Support!”
