If I had played this in 2024 this would be my GOTY or somewhere near it.
- Oozing with style. Utterly particular sound design, bumping soundtrack and a gorgeous 'oekaki board gothic' aesthetic.
- Fun boss-centric action that deftly mixes rhythm, beat 'em up and bullet hell. Very memorable boss fights and characters, combat has a certain rhythm once you're used to it.
- A surreal, slightly morbid cyberpunk-adjacent story that kept me guessing the whole way.
Seems balanced for Hard, so pick that!
