That's not just marketing, if you're photosensitive, you should avoid this one. The game's name is not a joke. Most people can't play for 10 minutes without getting dizzy. If that happens, take breaks.And if the game makes your brain go quiet in a way nothing else does... welcome.THANK YOUTo everyone who wishlisted, played the demo, repor…

• 15,000 PLAYERS, 200,000 RUNS, AND PATCH NOTES - 3 June 2026

  Pancak3s here.Two things first...(1) Thank you to everyone who's already left a review on the demo page. I read every single one, and they directly decide whether new players ever see this game. If you've played and haven't dropped a review yet, even a single line helps more than you'd think.(2) The numbers are absurd: 15,000 players and over 200,000 runs in the first two days. That's wild.And now... the first patch is live!This is the first of many. My plan is to ship a patch every few days between now and the July 20th launch while the demo is in everyone's hands.Patch NotesAddedFull ultrawide and widescreen supportAccessibility - CrosshairNew color picker allows you to pick any color for your crosshairNew size and thickness slidersTwo new crosshair shapes: Ring and Outlined PlusAccessibility - Obstacle OutlinesNew brightness slider allows you to dim or increase the brightness of obst…

• Here's What's Coming - 28 April 2026

  UPDATE #1Hey everyone!Pancak3s here. This is my first proper update on Steam, and I figured it's time since... a lot has happened.A few months ago, I posted a short about a game I was building that makes people motion sick. It got a few million views. Then a few more million. And now 80,000 of you have wishlisted it. That still doesn't feel real.Here's where we are:The game is launching on July 20th. That date is locked.A free demo drops on June 1st as part of Steam Next Fest. This will be your first chance to play it and find out if you can actually handle it or if you've been talking tough on YouTube and TikTok. 👀A private playtest is happening right now with our Discord community. They've been breaking things, reporting bugs, and giving feedback that's directly shaping the final game. If you want in on future testing, you can join the Discord server here.What's in the game so farMul…
