How it feels

A metroidvania platformer that mixes light action-RPG mechanics with a dry, comedic tone and a darkly whimsical story, feeling like a playful dungeon crawl with a ghostly co-host.

What players say

Players praise the deep RPG systems with many skills, spells, and items that force meaningful build choices. The movement feels stiff and old-school, which some enjoy for nostalgia, while others find it frustrating even on easy difficulty.
