The verdict
A short, rough early-access psychedelic shooter with standout drug visuals and a unique concept. Skip it if you want depth, a real roguelike or lasting content.
Great for
Players who want a short, weird, trippy FPS and can tolerate early-access roughness
Main risk
Very little content and shallow roguelike depth; beaten in 1-2 hours for about $10
