Exploring a punishing, dimly lit labyrinth where every step demands careful planning and persistence.

What players say

Players praise the creepy atmosphere and tense stealth, but the game is brutally hard with a steep difficulty spike in the final labyrinth. Reviews split on the developer's use of AI-generated art, with some calling it a dealbreaker. The game has three labyrinths, no save system, and allows level skipping after unlocking them.
