A methodical dungeon crawl with punishing combat and branching paths, feeling both bleak and deliberate.

What players say

Players see a short, free Souls-like built by a handful of students. They praise the effort and the hour-long run, but consistently note clunky stair navigation and a slow player speed compared to enemies. Opinions split on polish: some enjoy exploring the map and small lore drops, while others hit camera distortions, freezes, or combat hit-detection bugs.
