How it feels

A punishing dungeon crawl where every discovery in the dark must be earned by barely escaping with your life, if you can.

What players say

Players find the core loop addictive, with well-telegraphed enemies and satisfying loot, but consistently note very short playtime, under an hour once you know the routes, and little to do past the first boss. Long-time players warn development appears abandoned, as the last update was three years ago.
