How it feels

A tense, text-driven adventure where dice rolls determine your fate through sewers and subterranean horrors.

What players say

A faithful digital gamebook with dice rolls and skill checks, but combat feels random and luck-driven. Players split on the writing and replay value: some enjoy the atmosphere and branching paths, others find the story unremarkable and the engine sluggish. Short, easy to complete, and often bought on sale.
