An underrated gem

An isometric metroidvania where an infected huntress races against an infectious countdown: the premise is strong, but the camera angle proves awkward at times. Poorly distributed and panned for its difficulty, it sank fast. More interesting than its reputation, it'll appeal to fans of tense exploration willing to make peace with its rough spots.
