You navigate procedurally shifting rooms with deadly traps, always on edge from the threat of instant death in a bleak, pixelated complex.

What players say
Players are sharply divided. Many say the game is brutally hard with no saving or checkpoints, forcing restarts from the very beginning. Some call it unfair and unpolished, citing bugs that teleport you out of the map, while others compare it to Dark Souls and enjoy the challenge.
