How it feels

A slow, creeping incremental dungeon crawl that builds dread through its oppressive horror atmosphere.

What players say

Players are split on the game. Many praise the atmosphere, puzzles, and art direction, but a vocal group finds the idle mechanics shallow and grindy, with useless upgrades and a progression system that punishes long runs. The ending is satisfying to some but others feel the game is too short and unbalanced.
