How it feels

A grim, retro-styled dungeon crawler where each step in a forgotten tower feels tense and deliberate, with permanent death raising the stakes of every encounter.

What players say

Players describe a repetitive tower climb with turn-based random encounters where leveling quickly becomes a slog. Bugs that reset saves and random freeze crashes are widely reported, and the steep experience curve makes each level-up feel barely worth it.
