How it feels

A punishing souls-like action-RPG with a satirical, darkly funny tone, where you fight through a nostalgic pixelated world that's literally falling apart around you.

What players say

Players describe a charming souls-like with a humorous stick-figure protagonist and Dark Souls 1 influences. The combat is widely criticized as clunky with poor hit detection, especially against groups, and the game is buggy. Opinions split on whether the humor and short 10-15 hour runtime outweigh the technical flaws.
