How it feels

A quick-turn tactical roguelike where each careful decision in randomly generated dungeons carries the weight of permanent consequences.

What players say

Players describe a minimal, turn-based roguelike that plays like a puzzle game, forcing you to move each turn and plan several steps ahead. They compare it to Sproggywood and note it has few mechanics but surprising depth, though one review flags a default-on telemetry setting.
