About

This PC-only indie shooter drops you into chaotic alien battles where every screen is covered in indecipherable text. The gameplay follows classic shoot 'em up mechanics with fast paced action and power ups but the entire interface menus story text and even enemy labels are written in a made up language that reads like a cryptic code. You won't find any English translations or contextual clues to decode the mystery which adds a layer of surrealism to the chaos. The result is a game that plays like a normal arcade shooter but feels like an alien artifact. The lack of clear communication creates an odd disconnect between the intense action and total narrative silence. Players have noted online that the untranslated text never stops being weird making it a curiosity more than a traditional game. Despite its 2014 release date it remains a niche oddity with small but dedicated communities discussing possible meanings behind the text. The bizarre design choice ensures this will stick out in your library as something you definitely haven't seen before.
