What players say

Players praise it as a short, charming fusion of choose-your-own-adventure and roguelite, with each run shaped by dice rolls and random events. Many compare it to classic gamebooks or Shadowgate, and say a full playthrough takes about twenty minutes. Some wish it were larger or more atmospheric, but most find the price fair.
