How it feels

You frantically juggle items and stats while your hero fights autonomously, making every decision a matter of life or death in quick, tense runs.

What players say

Players manage a hero's backpack in real time while they auto-fight, sorting gear and stats between battles. The concept clicks for a few hours, but many hit a wall early due to tiny inventory, fast equipment decay, and feeling forced to trash most drops without reading them. Reviews split on whether the tension is clever or just frustrating.
