A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Officially directed by Just Call Me 'L', this is a little indie game about 3 kids pulling a DOOM-like extermination on underground monsters, typical activities amirite? 

Play through a vast underworld, where each separate world has its own unique charm and feel to it. Show those monsters from a failed experiment no mercy! (Because, well yk- they aren't human- well, were- gah nevermind, lore too confusing lol)

Install instructions

  1. Choose your Operating System (OS) and Download
  2. Extract the files to their own folder
  3. Play the Game!
  • NOTE: Please DO NOT move any of the files from the "bin" folder or rename the folder. These are necessary to prevent the game from crashing, as I do not know how to embed these important files from the GDExtensions used into the exported project itself.
