How it feels

A punishing yet atmospheric action RPG with pixel art, where deliberate combat and exploration in a dark fantasy world are driven by a mysterious story.

What players say

Players report it will not start on some systems, crashing immediately. Those who can play find the default controls confusing (A to confirm, ESC for fullscreen) and the movement stiff with animation gaps, though the pixel art is praised. Reviews warn of a missing map, no key rebinding, and punishing traps.
