How it feels

A methodical, dark fantasy strategy game where you command minions to survive against eldritch horrors in a slow-paced battle for revenge.

What players say

Players praise the visual style, music, and tactical combat, but consistently criticize bugs, clumsy controls, a lack of saving and cutscene skipping, a minimal story, and no character progression. It is recognized as a student project, with mixed opinions on whether a free academic exercise still offers enough value.
