How it feels

A methodical and immersive classic dungeon-crawling RPG that feels like a thoughtful, turn-based tabletop adventure through a richly detailed fantasy world.

What players say

Players are split: those with nostalgia for early 90s CRPGs enjoy its depth and character creation, while others find it jarring, obscure, and plagued by bad controls and no tutorial. The game is rough even by classic standards, with less polish than Gold Box or Might and Magic 3-5.
