How it feels
A lonely, punishing journey through a dark fantasy world where deliberate, skill-based combat and reactive play are essential, and death summons a ghostly ally that retraces your steps.

What players say
Players praise the atmosphere and tight combat in this 2D souls-like, comparing it favorably to Dark Souls. But many note it is short and punishing, with tanky controls that work best with a controller, and complaints about missing features like achievements and text scaling.
