This is your first hands-on taste of the squad-based Extraction Bullet Heaven, set inside a Lovecraftian void where Earth has already been consumed by an ancient eldritch god. A small band of survivors is trapped inside its belly, and the only way forward is to fight, loot, extract, and search for a way out before the Void claims everything.

What’s New in the Demo?

The new demo introduces multiple playable survivors, new long-term progression systems, boss-dropped Meta Resources, squad synergies, reworked expedition choices, and a brand-new playable character: Neon Ninja.

Build a squad of three survivors, battle through waves of nightmarish creatures, collect Morphite, defeat bosses, gather rare resources, and decide when to extract before your Oxygen runs out. Push too far, and the Void may take everything from you.
