How it feels

A tense and punishing boss-rush roguelite where you fight through a dark, misty forest to purify it, with each run building on the last.

What players say

Players describe a short 2D action boss rush with tight controls and distinct character playstyles. The English translation and some performance issues hold it back, but the parry-based combat and increasing challenge keep people playing through multiple runs.
