≠ Stands apart with precision platforming, visual novel storytelling and card game strategy, while skipping roguelike runs

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.
