A methodical, tense crawl through a dark, reactive dungeon where every move requires careful planning and awareness of looming threats.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy it as a mindless distraction they can play on autopilot, while others warn that heavy reliance on RNG and poor balancing make it feel hopeless and luck-based. Unlike Slay the Spire or Balatro, the player has only two choices per turn and limited visibility of enemy stats during upgrades, adding to the frustration.
