How it feels

You carefully plan each move in a grim, painted world where every step feels like a calculated gamble against a relentless plague.

What players say

Players describe a short, turn-based puzzle game with a striking visual style that is satisfying to complete but grows repetitive. Many finish it in under 10 hours and note a free expansion added later. Some achievements are bugged, and the final optional boss feels unfairly hard to some.
