Turn-Based Soulslike Combat

Alternate turns with enemies in turn-based combat with a unique posture system. You have the option to attack directly, but can also deal damage by knocking enemies out of position, into walls, or even blocking their movement with your own body.

A Twisty World

Explore six distinct zones through a sprawling, highly (and unpredictably) interconnected world. Unlock shortcuts, double back to find secrets of challenge difficult enemies, and uncover the hidden depths of this tiny but intricate world.
