How it feels
A narrative-heavy dungeon crawler that feels like a classic 90s RPG with methodical grid-based movement, a creepy dark fantasy world, and a party focused on unraveling a curse.

What players say
Players compare it favorably to Legend of Grimrock and Eye of the Beholder, though many note the combat and skill system are unbalanced and cumbersome due to only two equipable abilities per character. Reviews are split: some praise the atmosphere, story, and old-school charm, while others criticize AI-generated art, bugs, and a lack of polish.
