How it feels
You sneak through pixel-art dungeons in a tense cat-and-mouse game, where every step could mean losing your treasure to unseen monsters.

What players say
Players describe it as a simple but addictive roguelike where you follow a compass to find keys while gathering loot. The pixel art and soundtrack are praised, and while the meta progression is heavy, runs are short and the difficulty feels fair.
