How it feels

A tense, unforgiving journey through pixelated gothic ruins where each step feels haunted by inevitable doom.

What players say

Players praise its authentically retro feel and Lovecraftian horror theme, but note the game is weird and obscure. Reviews are split on value, with some saying it is worth a sale price. Combat includes enemy morale that causes them to flee, and the game offers a prestige mode for replaying with harder enemies.
