How it feels

A lighthearted, casual adventure where you solve puzzles, tie up enemies non-lethally, and steal gold to help villagers without ever killing anyone.

What players say

Players praise the unique Slovak folklore setting and the no-kill mechanic, but split on controls which some call clumsy. Many note the gameplay loop becomes repetitive as each castle follows the same formula. The game is short, about 8 hours, and difficulty is set at the start with no way to change it.
