How it feels
You take on the role of an invisible wisp, methodically exploring and recruiting animals during a calm preparation phase, then shifting to tense tactical defense as you protect your chrysalis from waves of dark enemies.

What players say
Players praise the unique mix of tower defense, creature collecting and roguelike elements, but split on execution. Many say runs feel long and tedious, with brutal difficulty spikes and no meta progression to ease repetition. Others enjoy the deep creature synergies and exploration, though controls are often called sluggish.
