How it feels

A grim strategic RPG where you manage a party of hunters through a plague-ravaged dark fantasy world, balancing survival and specialized tactics.

What players say

Players praise the tactical combat where positioning, ability timing and the shrine boon-curse system create tense decisions. The dark plague aesthetic and procedural runs keep it fresh, though some note early-game typos and alt-tab crashing as rough edges.
