What players say
Players control a monster that moves through soil and possesses boulders to eliminate archaeologists. The game is a short puzzle experience lasting 2 to 4 hours, with a difficulty spike on level 14 that rewards lateral thinking. Some note the game has been removed on Steam and that no sequel was made, despite interest.
