How it feels
A grim, punishing journey through a crumbling orphanage where every room is a deadly tactical puzzle and each mistake resets all progress.

What players say
Players compare it to The Binding of Isaac and praise its dark art style and school setting, but the combat is weighed down by janky controls, tanky enemies, and a spike in difficulty, especially late in a run. Development stopped without addressing many issues, so what exists feels unfinished.
