What players say

Players describe a short, turn-based roguelike that plays like a budget Splatterhouse or DoomRL with horror theming. Runs last about half an hour, but reviewers are split on replayability: some find it addictive, others say the identical levels and questionable boss mechanics wear thin. Multiple reports of gamebreaking bugs, especially near the end, and some complain it is not actually scary.
