A roguelike with a contemporary urban setting, it restarts the dungeon from scratch with every fall, turning progress into an exercise in caution and memory. Assembling your gear, sizing up enemies and picking your fights win out over simply leveling up. Raw and demanding, it suits fans of procedural challenge willing to learn the hard way.
