How it feels

A tense, unrelenting dungeon crawl where each death resets progress, demanding careful combat and strategic play in a dark fantasy setting.

What players say

Players are split: many call it abandoned for years with bugs and no updates, while a few defend the finished content as worthwhile. Co-op is praised as genuinely fun but solo play is less recommended, and the combat feels clunky to some.
