About This Game

A parasitic existence unfolds within an enormous snail's body, where you navigate a breathing, organic landscape teeming with grotesque life forms. Combat and platforming challenges interweave throughout your journey as you bend creatures to your will, using them as tools to overcome environmental obstacles and adversaries alike. The narrative explores your unwitting position in an ancient biological cycle—one that culminates in the death of your vast, unknowing host—while raising unsettling questions about your own nature and purpose within this strange symbiotic relationship.
