A grim exploration-driven pet simulator set in a broken world. Master platforming, optimize pet modifiers, upgrade your body, and advance through a dystopia where survival comes at a cost.
The developer filed this on the Steam store page. It is not a guess by active.games.
Since our team is very small, due to a lack of certain skills and time, for now we had to use AI to create some of the icons and music in our game, as placeholders that will be replaced by handcrafted art in the future. All other visual content was created by real people.

The Lilith Update | REBIRTH, COLLECTIBLES, SKINS, THICK NPC, AND MORE !!! (opens in new tab)
Greetings, fellow Operators. It was a harsh month. We have had some financial and health troubles in our team. One of our core developers got hit by a bazooka (he was very sick).
