How it feels

A dark fantasy time-traveling adventure where you explore a crumbling, monster-infested world with deliberate, challenging combat.

What players say

Players praise the dark pixel art and atmosphere but consistently report clunky, slow combat with unresponsive blocking and dodging. Movement keys cannot be remapped on keyboard, and the game has not received any updates since its early access launch, leading many to call it abandoned. Reviews are split between recommending it only for souls-like fans and telling others to wait for fixes.
