How it feels

A slow, methodical tactical roguelike where you manage a necropolis and fight through cemeteries with permadeath, unlocking upgrades across runs.

What players say

Players praise the simple but addictive gameplay loop and charming presentation, though they split on the RNG: some say it creates fun risk-reward decisions, others find it frustrating and the progression too repetitive. The game has two distinct stages (above and underground) and runs are fast, but the lack of a speed-up toggle that doesn't warp audio is a common complaint.
