This is an action-adventure game in which players assume the role of a scientist searching for answers in a mysterious alien world. From a side-scrolling perspective, players traverse platforms while using a blaster-like gun to shoot fantastical creatures (e.g., giant squids, insects, worms) and bosses. One level contains human-like ghouls that shriek as they run towards the player. Enemies explode into particles and pixels when defeated. The words “damned” and “hell” appear in the dialogue.
