Despite his escape, Shun was deeply affected by the experience and decided to give up, withdrawing from society.
Seven years later, his partner Elena took up the fight again, more determined than ever to avenge what her husband had suffered.
Despite her extreme caution, the government had acquired AI-powered surveillance tools, she was discovered and imprisoned in a highly secured prison!
Game overview:
The game takes place in four different environments (prison, asteroid, desert, forest). Shoot enemies from all directions, collect access cards to open secure doors, use red round grenades to destroy walls blocking passage, and blue rectangle grenades to temporarily disable security cameras.

When do you think is the Mega Drive/Genesis version fully ready? Our fingers are itching to write a review!
The game is fully ready, I'm just waiting for the Kickstarter to finish, if it is not successful, I will release the game anyway in physical form via "the homebrew factory" and release the ROM file on my itchio store + PC version on Steam.
