How it feels

A punishing turn-based RPG where you explore a secret graveyard as an executioner, balancing cute anime aesthetics with grim, tactical survival.

What players say

Players praise the chibi-art and active turn-based combat, but the machine translation ("HP" becomes "惠普") and AI-generated sprites divide opinion. The lack of a leveling system and inability to flee make early encounters feel unfair, as most attacks are one-hit kills. The game is short at around 7 hours, and the only DLC is cosmetic.
