“Not for the faint of heart but tailored for rogue-like game mechanics.”
“15 hours of chill gameplay max before hitting the end.”
“Meanwhile, the runs themselves are not overly long (especially if you lose, but a winning run takes maybe an hour or two), and the gameplay is not incredibly taxing, but also not dull.”
“The mechanics are simple enough to get a hang of, and though it isn't quite on par with a game like FTL, it's a slightly more relaxed experience.”
