Features Wave-based survival: Each new wave brings more roaches, faster movement, and tighter reaction windows. Simple controls, intense pressure: Easy to pick up, hard to put down—perfect for quick sessions or long streaks. Creepy atmosphere: Grimy visuals and unsettling movement to trigger that “ugh” feeling every time something scurries by.
