✓ Like Grimhook, it's known for shooter, first-person shooting and puzzle design

≠ Its own twist: Metroidvania exploration, open world exploration and exploration and discovery, while skipping punishing difficulty

A first-person puzzle game structured like a metroidvania: a small sandbox where new tools retroactively open earlier areas, and almost every corner hides something. Puzzle design is genuinely clever. Combat is the weak part — enemies are simple damage sponges that interrupt the puzzling — and the art style is plain enough to look cheap.

✓ Both are arena shooters — sharing shooter, first-person shooting and precision platforming

≠ Stands apart with visual novel storytelling, card game strategy and setting anime, while skipping puzzle design

A first-person speedrunning game disguised as a shooter: every level is a short, restart-instantly puzzle where guns double as movement abilities and the real opponent is the leaderboard. The card-as-movement idea is genuinely original. The anime visual-novel dialogue between levels is the sticking point — a large share of otherwise positive players describe skipping it outright.
