Reviews

“The level design is well-structured and full of ingenious ideas. The physics system is also impressively handled.”

“The camera handling really stands out—honestly more polished than in many commercial games. During each puzzle or platforming sequence, the camera stays steady and focused, and when the player reaches a new puzzle, it shifts smoothly to match the new context.”

“Objects often serve multiple functions—some elements must be avoided, yet can also be cleverly used to your advantage. You can really see the thoughtfulness and experience behind the design.”

Light is oppression — survive between the light and the shadow

As a vampire, you joined an expedition of your kin into the fabled Hollow of the Angel, lured by the possibility of priceless blood crystals known as Tears of the Angel. Your kind's unique vision made navigating the pitch-black tunnels effortless, and soon you reached the mine’s deepest layer—the mineralized zone.

But the moment the blood crystal was extracted, everything changed. The shaft collapsed, madness overtook your companions, and worst of all: the once-dark underground world is now filled with blazing light. Even a single misstep into its searing glow could mean instant death.

You must tread carefully, using every shadow for shelter, and mastering the dance between light and darkness to stay alive.

Logic is hope — solve the puzzles and find your way out

You awaken amidst the ruins, realizing you've been attacked and abandoned by your maddened companions. Familiar corridors have twisted beyond recognition—what was once a clear path is now riddled with deadly traps and shifting mechanisms.

Can you remain calm enough to navigate the chaos?
