About This Game

Death relieves you of fear. Not of duty.

You died? Excellent! Enlist and you belong to the S.H.P. – the Squid Hunt Program. We grant you a life after death. A purpose. Meaning. You step through a portal on our behalf to intercept the – fortunately – endless waves of squid heads.

The marrow to the state, the coffin to the enemy.

Enter the portal, eliminate the enemy, loot supply crates and pay. Return to your quarters successfully, open the crates and secure new weapons and bonuses. Upgrade your equipment at the workbench – so that on your next run you send even more enemies to the hereafter, even faster.

Those who stand with the S.H.P. shall never fall.

Earn experience, rise in rank, grow stronger. Your rank determines your weapon upgrades, your storage capacity and access to more dangerous portals. The more dangerous the portal, the better the supplies. You set the difficulty.

The heart is cold, the hand is steady, until the Program sees fit to release you.

Unlock special hunting portals and face boss enemies who desperately attempt to obstruct the Program. They promise cheerful bloodshed, glory – and above all, equipment. Conserving ammunition is strictly prohibited. The loss of limbs is to be compensated by increased combat readiness.
