How it feels

A punishing cycle of death and growth where each resurrection teaches you to survive a little longer in a dark, stylized fantasy world.

What players say

Players report the game released as a half-finished beta, then the developer abandoned it shortly after the 1.0 launch. Combat is repetitive and slow with no fast-forward, mechanics are poorly explained, and progression depends too much on luck. A few find the art and storylines enjoyable, but most say the game is not worth its price.
