How it feels

a slow, tactical match-3 RPG where you manage a grim party through dangerous dungeons, with each move carrying weight and consequence.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and the skill synergy in the match-3 combat, but many say the game is underbaked with a repetitive loop and no penalty for failure. Controls are often unresponsive and progression feels grindy. The game is short, around four hours, and players are split on whether it is worth the low price.
