How it feels

Exploring a hand-crafted, collapsing world with fast-paced combat and a growing bond with an ethereal spirit feels beautifully melancholic and tense.

What players say

Players praise its combat that feels satisfying and challenging without being frustrating, and they note it eschews the roguelike loop of Hades for a story-driven action RPG with exploration. The lack of an in-game map is a common complaint.
