How it feels

A punishing, action-heavy dungeon crawl with procedurally generated rooms and permadeath, where the player fights through decay and madness while uncovering a cryptic story.

What players say

Players compare it heavily to The Binding of Isaac but find it less polished, with clunky controls, poor collision detection, and an unfinished feel. A trivia gimmick is underused, and the art style is divisive. Some praise the lore and story for those willing to dig deep.
