What launched, and where
Rage Game Studio and solo developer Adrian Podaru launched the action-adventure on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Windows PC via the Microsoft Store, with Xbox Play Anywhere support. The Microsoft Store listing gives the release date as 11/13/2026. It lists PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Cloud Gaming and handheld under "Play with". Xbox Wire's "Next Week on Xbox" roundup had already flagged the November 13 date, with Smart Delivery and Xbox Play Anywhere.
The Xbox listing's capability tags are:
- Single player
- Optimized for Xbox Series X|S
- Smart Delivery
- Xbox achievements
- Xbox cloud saves
- Xbox Play Anywhere
These capabilities appear on the Xbox store page. The listing also carries a Teen rating for violence.
What Play Anywhere means here
Play Anywhere is the feature that matters most for Windows readers. It is Xbox's program for owning a game once and playing it on both Xbox and Windows PC. The publisher's launch release describes it as one purchase for Xbox and PC, with shared progress. The Xbox listing supports that with its cloud saves tag.
Two caveats apply:
- Buy from the right store. The Play Anywhere badge is on the Microsoft/Xbox listing. Steam is a separate PC storefront. Nothing in the material I reviewed says a Steam purchase gets you the Xbox version or carries progress over to it.
- Smart Delivery is a separate feature. It is the Xbox mechanism that delivers the right version for your console. The store calls the game optimized for Xbox Series X|S and also lists Xbox One. I found no detail on platform-specific performance differences or step-by-step save transfer.
Price and timing
The Xbox listing shows $15.49 marked down to $13.16, a saving of $2.33. It also showed the sale "ends in 14 days" when captured. The publisher says the launch deal is 15% off for the first two weeks. Steam's page shows an introductory offer ending November 26 at the same $13.16 price. UK coverage from The Xbox Hub puts the price at £12.99. Prices are regional and time-limited, so check your own store before buying.
PC requirements, per Steam
Steam's listing, not the Xbox page, is the source for PC specs. Windows 11 is the stated OS for both tiers, and DirectX 11 is required.
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 11 | Windows 11 |
| CPU | Ryzen 5 2600 / Core i5-8400 | Ryzen 5 5600 / Core i5-11600K |
| RAM | 8 GB | 8 GB |
| GPU | GeForce GTX 1650 / Radeon RX 570 | RTX 2060 / RX 5700 XT / Arc A750 |
| Storage | 10 GB | 10 GB |
These are modest numbers. Steam also lists the game as single-player with Steam Achievements and Steam Cloud, and says it supports 16 languages.
One inconsistency: Steam shows a November 12 release date, a day before the Xbox date. I'm using November 13 for the Xbox and Microsoft Store release. Steam listings and store dates can differ by region or timing, so don't assume one universal launch date.
The game itself
The Xbox listing calls it a challenging action-adventure in a surreal desert prison realm. Combat is built around parrying: every parry feeds Daedalus, your living sword, so better timing makes it stronger. The listing also promises demanding platforming, vertical challenges, and flight at some points.
The publisher's launch release adds details that are its own claims:
- The game was made in Romania over about three years by Podaru, with help from friends.
- It has 24 achievements worth 1,000 Gamerscore.
- It has an official launch trailer.
- A free Steam demo exists. The Steam page I reviewed shows a demo download link, but its pre-release wording was inconsistent, so check the demo yourself before relying on it.
The headline of the original report calls the combat "awesome." That is the outlet's enthusiasm and not a tested finding. Steam showed just one user review at the time of capture, which is too few to produce a score.
Practical takeaways
- If you want to move between console and PC, buy through the Microsoft/Xbox store, where Play Anywhere is listed.
- If you only play on PC, the requirements are light enough that most Windows 11 gaming machines from the last several years should cope. That is my inference from the spec table, not a benchmark.
- Buy before the sale ends if the discount matters. Steam shows November 26.
- Treat early impressions with caution until independent reviews appear.
For a solo-developed indie, launching on Xbox One, Series X|S, and PC at once, with Smart Delivery and Play Anywhere, is a tidy bit of platform plumbing. It is also a reminder that one Microsoft Store purchase can cover both your console and your desktop.
