  • Unique and creative soulslike experience with a strong Lovecraftian atmosphere and quirky NPCs.
  • Fun and engaging gameplay with decent dodge and parry mechanics, appealing to fans of janky, old-school PS1-style games.
  • Developer is responsive and actively fixes bugs; the game offers multiple endings and New Game Plus for extended playtime.
  • Weapon system is frustrating — only one weapon can be carried, upgrades do not transfer, and dropping weapons results in losing them permanently.
  • Short overall experience with basic features, lacking build variety, and minimal stat options beyond strength.
  • Performance issues and lack of customization options for display settings, with the graphics not justifying the low frame rates on some platforms.
