Leaving Early Access: Sep 1, 2026

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I want to build a very content-rich game, both on the exploration front and story-wise; however, to do that in a compelling way as a non-professional dev, I need feedback from the community.

I've already had a lot of experience with Early Access releases with positive reviews, so I feel confident about this choice”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“At least for 6-7 months and maybe more”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The complete version is planned to have more RPG elements, locations to explore, and new characters to meet.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The early access version at launch has already built the core of a combat and mechanics for dealing with depression. ”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, I'm planning to increase the price before going into full release”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Via Steam discussions and thematic channels on the Discord server”

About This Game

Story

You’re exhausted.
Jane is stuck in a city that feeds on her doubts, fears, and unresolved grief.

By night, she fights monsters born from her own shadow.
By day, she barely holds herself together.

This is not a story about saving the world.
It’s about surviving yourself — and what happens when you fail to.



Gameplay

SLASH YOUR WAY through an interconnected city

Save your progress in Photobooths.
Heal through Streetlamps and a rechargeable Lighter that rewards aggression.

When you die, you leave everything behind.
To get it back, you must face your Shadow — a version of you that fights exactly like you do.

Balance two currencies:

  • Happiness — spendable, fragile, easily lost

  • Misery — earned through risk, used for growth

Choose how much you’re willing to suffer to become stronger.

Two modes shape the experience:

  • Nightmare — intended, punishing, and rewarding

  • Daydream — forgiving systems with the same combat challenge

Block, parry, kick, and break the enemy's poise.
Unlock shortcuts.
