How it feels
A tense, atmospheric souls-like action RPG set in a dark cyberpunk world where you fight hostile beings made of ink.

What players say
Players are split on the combat: some find it sluggish and unfair, others say the 2025 patch fixed it. The vertical tower setting and ink-based save and upgrade system are widely praised, and the game is short but replayable. Performance on Steam Deck is good, though some still find the difficulty and controls off-putting.
