Something is counting down. The forest fractures into void. Villages cling to leftover pixels. You have walked these paths before — or so the mushrooms say. You do not remember.

Fight through collapsing ground with chained attacks, thrusts, and sprint combos. Touch checkpoints before the countdown eats your progress. Reach the worm that digs through the map… and learn what “zero” really means.

COUNTDOWN is a short action adventure about deletion, loops, and the things that remember when you forget.
