How it feels

A darkly whimsical coin-pusher where you casually manage a lair and collect gold to ascend to lichdom.

What players say

Players enjoy the coin-pushing loop but consistently say the game is too short, with most finishing in under two hours. Many report performance issues on high-end hardware and a developer who cut support early.
