How it feels

a tense and unforgiving first-person dungeon crawl where every death resets progress, demanding careful cooperation and resourcefulness from up to four players.

What players say

Players say the game is balanced around a full party of four and brutally punishing for solo players, with many dying to traps and instakill mechanics. A common complaint is that each run starts from scratch with no unlocks or progression, making progress feel hollow. Players are split on whether this pure roguelike design is rewarding or just frustrating.
