What players say

Players praise the unique blend of climbing mechanics, Lovecraftian horror, and roguelike structure, often comparing it to Spelunky or Gravity Falls. The controls take getting used to but become smooth. As an Early Access title, it currently has limited levels, though the replay value is high.
