You wouldn’t expect this at first glance. It’s a brutally difficult roguelike, rendered in one or two-bit graphics that make it look and play like someone emulated their favorite Japanese horror RPG from the ‘80s, with all the retro interface and design that entails. It looks, upon opening it up, like a game made for a very specific audience who will “get” it and fiercely defend it. But once you actually start to play the game and make it through the difficulty barrier of those early deaths (and there will be early deaths), it opens up immensely, turning it into a gruesome and tough but incredibly rewarding experience that only deepens the more you play.

Rogueliker: "I was immediately transported back in time thanks to the antiquated user interface. The technology of the era and your interactions with it are constantly integrated into the story in clever ways - this is A* environmental storytelling."
World of Horror Review – This is a wonderfully gruesome throwback to early horror text-based adventures with just the right amount of choice.
