On Friday, publisher Toko Midori launched a new free-to-play, first-person shooter Bone Dust via Steam Early Access.

Developed by Platonic Partnership, Bone Dust is described as a challenging “bullet-hell” arena shooter set against a “unique and unsettling art style that is sure to leave players bewildered.” Be ye wildered, dear readers?

Players must use “rapid bursts of playing cards” (Oui, mon chérie!) to fight off the oncoming hordes of monsters inspired by circus performances. The current Early Access build includes both an arcade-like single arena stage and a boss fight.

Here’s the official breakdown of Bone Dust from Toko Midori, followed by a recent trailer:

Welcome to Bone Dust, skill-based arena shooter/bullet hell experience set in a nightmare circus! In this fast-paced FPS, you’ll take on the role of a magician who uses her playing cards as a weapon to battle against waves of horrendous enemies in a closed arena environment.

With arcade-style gameplay and epic boss battles, Bone Dust will keep you coming back for more. Put your skills to the test and see if you have what it takes to emerge victorious in the nightmare circus.

Key Features:

• Fast-paced, arcade-style gameplay
• Fight your way to the global leaderboard
• Unique nightmare circus theme
• Play as a magician and use your playing cards as a weapon
• Epic boss battles in a closed arena

Bone Dust is now available for free on PC via Steam Early Access.
