The gameplay is reminiscent of Darkest Dungeon, featuring a chibi anime style and FM-synth music, with a straightforward approach that allows for rewarding experimentation despite the absence of a tutorial. While the fear and hunger mechanics contribute to a hardcore experience, they are viewed as less beneficial overall. Overall, the learning curve is manageable, and the game offers decent positional gameplay.
“While the game lacks a tutorial, the learning curve is not too steep, and experimenting with game mechanics feels rewarding.”
“The gameplay is straightforward; the video previews on the store page pretty much capture it.”
“The fear and hunger mechanics definitely help make this a 'hardcore' game, but did little to add to the experience in a positive way.”
“Gameplay-wise, it's a variation of Darkest Dungeon, but with an anime/chibi graphical style and FM-synth music.”

“From my point of view as a pixel artist, this game really needs a visual upgrade and changes to how things look and feel.”
