“Brutal, clever, unforgiving dungeon crawler/puzzle box. Definitely recommend.”
— a player, Steam review · 235 hrs played“The game title is a bit misleading... although it promote itself as a window mode game that doesn't fully cover your full screen to "allow you to work on other stuffs while you play"... it's not really one of those idle desktop companion games but rather a full fledged dungeon…”
