Acquiescence is a 2D shooter-platformer set in a dark world populated by blasphemous forces. Seven surreal levels of jumping, dodging, and fighting through lethal traps and hostile environments, with unique weapons unlocked by eliminating specific enemy types. Each level ends with a boss encounter unlike the ones before it. Dark electronic music runs throughout. Whether this is a dream or a reality, and whether it matters, is the question hanging over the whole experience.
