Worst. Birthday. Ever.

Ember was sent to Hell by mistake on her birthday. Her best chance of getting out is Abe, a talking chainsaw-gun powered by hatred. Kill demons, spend their teeth, mutate your weapons and stack cursed upgrades before facing the next grotesque boss. Die, and your next run brings a new arrangement of rooms.

Give your audience a trip to Hell

• Build something cursed. Mutate Abe and combine items that change how your guns and bombs work.
• Make one last boss run. Find out how far your latest build gets before it all goes wrong.
• Spot the horror references. Explore a grotesque cartoon world inspired by classic horror films.
