Accompanied by poignant narration, embark on a mythical journey to understand the past and shape the future. Will you uncover the true nature of the neck?
Masochist Mode (1-4 players)
No land. No checkouts. Nothing but neck. Subject yourself to grueling challenges in a hellish atmosphere ripe for speedrunning.
Hub World Progression
