An action platformer on a distant planet, where your objective is getting home after crashing behind enemy lines. You'll need your trusty pistol; not to kill, but to explore. Along the way, you'll come face-to-face with the enemy, and find you have far more in common than you ever expected.

About This Game

A 2-D Indie platformer exploring themes of just and unjust war, humanization of the enemy, and the internal conflict inherent in choosing what's best for your country versus what's best for your species.

You awaken in an escape pod: alone, in enemy territory, with nothing but your pistol. You'll use this gun (and any others you find) not to kill, but to explore: destroying obstacles with bullets and using the gun's powerful recoil to navigate stages.

You'll learn the history and language of a not-so-alien world with not-so-alien inhabitants, explore their past and present settlements, and make decisions that alter the course of both species' histories.
