How it feels

A modest student-made labyrinth adventure where you dodge enemies and collect insight to find your way out after claiming a legendary sword.

What players say

Players say the gem upgrade system is fun, but the ending comes abruptly and the combat is floaty with motion blur. Reviews note it is a short student project with no save feature, and they are split on whether its adventure focus makes up for the rough combat.
