How it feels

A tense and punishing precision platformer where every move counts, set in a dark fantasy dungeon with a constant threat of instant death.

What players say

Players call it a fun and challenging precision platformer with perma-death that keeps them on edge. Some find the controls awkward due to no key remapping, and a few reviewers say the level design is repetitive and the difficulty feels unfair compared to Celeste.
