The new world, mired by centuries of anarchy, is in constant need of culling. Asmus, a Venator of the Memento Mori, is assigned to that particularly macabre task.

• Dance to the death in 10 increasingly difficult boss fights. To Asmus, they are merely missions, but each character he faces is fighting for their lives with shockwaves, lasers, lightning-fast slashes, and mesmerizing bullet storms across multiple phases.

• Simple controls, complex mechanics. Move, shoot, slash. That's all you do. Designed to be highly responsive on both keyboard & mouse and gamepads, the controls are basic and easy to understand. It's how you use them to dodge, attack, and counter enemy fire that matters.

• Every level is stylistically distinct, with traditional, handcrafted 2D maps, sprites, and animations for every character. Each one boasts its own unique soundtrack, spanning a plethora of genres to fit the aesthetic and gravitas of each fight.

• Why are you doing this? Let Asmus share the darkest nooks of his mind in a traditionally illustrated narrative throughline that links every boss battle together. See behind the "missions" to explore the characters he's fighting, and question who's truly better off dead.

• An easy mode is available, so you can find the right level of challenge for you while maintaining fully immersed in the narrative.
