You fall into an underground world full of monsters and can choose not to kill any of them. Battles mix RPG menus with bullet-hell dodging, and the game remembers your choices in surprising ways. Humour, tenderness and metanarrative.

Why play it now

When you want a special, short story you can finish in a few sessions.

Who it's for

For anyone who enjoys surprises, offbeat humour and stories that play with the medium itself.

When not to pick it
