Burning with anger, The girl wages a one-woman war against the cult, taking them down cultist by cultist, bullet by bullet, until she reaches her true target: the leader. Along the way she will unravel the dark truth about this mysterious order and the atrocities committed by them in the name of their master. In this tactical third-person puzzle-shooter you assume control of one bullet, guiding it through increasingly complex and challenging levels to kill cultists, trigger traps, and reshape the environment. Every shot counts and ruthless precision is rewarded. Taking down the cult is deeply satisfying; doing it with style even more so.
