How it feels

A brooding, text-heavy journey through a parasitic dimension where you creep through eerie locales, manage a misfit crew, and unearth cryptic secrets under constant pressure to escape.

What players say

Players praise the writing and worldbuilding but say the gameplay is a slog, with repetitive room traversal and janky combat. The game is frequently compared to Sunless Sea, and while fans of that game will find more to love, others warn that exploration feels tedious and some story threads go nowhere.
