The verdict
A brutally hard, atmospheric top-down survival-horror roguelike with great sound and crafting. Skip it if you hate permadeath, low-res pixel visuals or replaying the same early levels.
Great for
Hardcore roguelike fans who enjoy tense, scarce-ammo survival horror and learning through repeated deaths
Main risk
Unforgiving permadeath with minimal saves means constantly replaying the same early levels
What players love
