How it feels
A solo developer's linear action RPG that feels like a nostalgic homage to 1990s dungeon crawlers, with colorful cartoon visuals and straightforward hack-and-slash combat.

What players say
Players praise the classic ARPG feel with RuneScape and Diablo inspirations, funny writing, and a solo dev's dedication. The mouse-driven controls divide opinion, and some find enemy hitboxes and the inventory clunky. It is early-access with minor bugs, but reviewers say nothing game-breaking.
