The drop-off

A game like this has no single ending, so its score does not use the finish rate. The curve shows where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

One of the most underrated games I have ever played. Action is fluid and hopping between enemies really makes you feel like you are a virus just ripping through robots. I think the word "badass" would be the only proper way to explain the feeling. Also the lore was a fun addition that made the game feel more alive and unique. Absolutely love this game

An underappreciated Gem. A mechanically finetuned experience, made by people who think and care about games in the same way I do. A fresh idea, expanded upon wonderfully.
