What players say
Players praise the steampunk-Lovecraftian aesthetic, weapons and story, but many call the game unplayable due to bugs like enemies spawning in walls, random level-skipping teleports and severe difficulty spikes. Long-term reviews report the developer has abandoned it since release in 2021.
