How it feels

A tense, punishing dungeon crawler where you fight through dark hand-drawn levels with permadeath, forcing careful but relentless action.

What players say

Players praise the combat and art style but are split on depth. Many warn development stalled a year into early access, with no updates promised. Performance is good on weak PCs but chugs with particle effects. Length is about 10 to 25 hours, and players note the lack of a co-op mode.
