How it feels

You explore a grim fantasy town as a resurrected skeleton, piecing together your past through quirky NPCs and old-school action RPG combat, driven by a need to stay alive rather than heroic duty.

What players say

Players are split: many call it a barebones mobile port with microtransactions, no settings, and clunky combat, while others enjoy the old-school RPG charm, long campaign, and the novelty of playing as a skeleton.
