How it feels

A frantic first-person melee slasher where precise swordplay and tactical spellcasting are key to surviving nightmarish monster hordes.

What players say

Players are split on this one: some praise its satisfying movement and melee combat, while many others find the hitboxes and enemy AI frustrating. A common complaint is the lack of graphics options like motion blur toggle. The game is short, beatable in about 90 minutes, and players note it feels like a solo developer project.
