The verdict
A notoriously janky, ultra-low-budget first-person hack-and-slash with a maddening key-hunt first level. Skip it unless you want an ironic laugh at a deep discount.
Great for
Fans of "so bad it's funny" games who can get it for pennies in a bundle or sale
Main risk
The first-level key hunt and clunky combat make it frustrating or boring, wasting even a tiny price.

What players complain about
Confusing key-hunt first level
Mentioned in ~1 in 3 negative reviews
“The first part of the game is just a key hunt. You find a key, to open a door, to find a torch, so you can get some oil, to find another key....add nauseum.”

Clunky, repetitive combat
Mentioned in ~1 in 5 negative reviews
“enemies take a ridiculous amount of hits to kill. This is complemented greatly by how floaty and broken the attacks are.”
