Modes: Single player

Releases: Oct 23, 2024 (PC (Microsoft Windows))

Once upon a time, there was a fly. A hungry fly. A fly with razor-sharp teeth, with a taste for dead things. This is the tale of its adventure to find something dead to devour, in a swamp where nothing dies, everything is grotesque, and every choice matters, no matter how surreal.
