How it feels

A fast-paced and challenging gothic adventure with tight combat and non-linear exploration, evoking classic Game Boy Color pixel art.

What players say

Players describe it as a love letter to Game Boy Color Zelda games crossed with Bloodborne's combat. The short 10-hour runtime and tricky bosses are praised, though the lack of fast travel and some obtuse hidden walls frustrate some.
