A tense pixel-art survival ARPG where relentless nightmare attacks force constant preparation and resource management.

What players say
Players praise the food-based stat system and cooking variety but are split on the combat. Many call the fighting frustrating due to limited 4-direction attacks, tanky enemies with reading input and stunlocks, and stamina that drains quickly. The farming can feel tedious even with some automation. Some players request multiplayer, and controller support is missing.
