How it feels

A whimsically grotesque turn-based tactical roguelike where clownish charm clashes with brutal permadeath.

What players say

Players praise the strategic depth of its pigment-based combat and tactical positioning, but some find the puzzle-like progression repetitive. The grotesque, hand-drawn art and surprisingly emotional story are frequently highlighted, though narrative payoff diminishes on repeat runs.
