How it feels
A tense, lonely survival crawl through barren tunnels where every swing of a pickaxe feels like a fight for mankind's last breath.

What players say
Players describe it as a lighter Core Keeper with monster girl companions and a surprising narrative, but the game is unfinished: the roadmap was abandoned, bugs are common, automation is clunky, and the sound stacking on loot or combat is jarring. Reviews split on whether the low sale price justifies the rough state.
