How it feels
A tense, turn-based puzzle of survival where every move balances upgrading with dodging monsters.

What players say
Players describe a minimalist puzzle-dungeon-crawler where success feels more like luck than strategy due to heavy RNG in combat and spellbooks. Many complain about missing settings, windowed-only play, and a lack of tutorial, though some appreciate the challenge once they memorize fixed level patterns.
