How it feels

You carefully build a dungeon from cards, then watch automated combat unfold as you race against darkness to collect resources.

What players say

Players love the unique dungeon-building twist but split on execution: many find the torch mechanic frustrating and the combat shallow, while others enjoy the frantic loop of getting lost in a dungeon of your own making. Reviews compare it favorably to Blue Prince and Dungeon of the Endless.
