How it feels

A cute but punishing coffee-break roguelike where you collect and deploy Japanese yokai through turn-based dungeon crawling with spooky pixel art.

What players say

Players describe a short-session roguelike with yokai characters and simple graphics that is brutally difficult, often ending in one-shot deaths or stun-locks. Some find the combat rushed and the soundtrack too short, but others praise the variety of playstyles and the challenge.
