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 its hardcore nature, they may not enhance the overall experience positively; however, the game does offer 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.”
