Neon White is a 2022 first-person action platformer developed by Angel Matrix and published by Annapurna Interactive. Players navigate 2.5D levels using card-based movement abilities rather than guns, chaining abilities together to optimize routes and shave seconds off completion times in time-attack runs. The game features solo-only speedrunning with a challenging difficulty curve designed for short-burst play sessions. Reviewers highlight how the card-abilities chain into fluid movement, while players cite endless replayability through routing decisions and the absence of RNG making practice feel fair. The Machine Girl soundtrack accompanies the fast-paced action, and players describe the rhythmic mastery that develops as hypnotic and the overall experience as both competitive and contemplative. Available for $24.99 USD, Steam Deck Verified, and currently holding a 98% positive rating from over 12,000 Steam reviews.

About Neon White: Neon White is a single-player speedrunning FPS where you can sacrifice your guns for godlike parkour moves.
