After a catastrophe drives humanity underground, a religious society follows the New God, the Great Hand. When the Hand takes the hero’s child, the hero sets out through the hostile underground to find a way to open the Sanctuary’s gates and bring the child back.
Explore connected underground areas, follow branching routes, speak with inhabitants, and take on side quests as you face monsters and bosses. Combat is fast-paced: dodge attacks, use special abilities, and switch between four main weapons to adapt to different enemies.
Earn upgrades for each weapon through its skill tree and shape your fighting style as you progress. Dialogue, side quests, and a karma system feed into a branching narrative in which choices can affect the world and its endings.
The supplied reviews often praise the detailed pixel art, dark atmosphere, and worldbuilding, with some also enjoying the soundtrack, fast combat, and boss encounters. Opinions on combat are divided: some find it satisfying and challenging, while others find it frustrating or repetitive. Confusing navigation and the lack of a map are recurring complaints.
After a global catastrophe, the remains of human civilization built a new religious society among the ruins of the desolated underground. They have forgotten the light of the sun and now are blindly following the New God — The Great Hand. Once every few years, The Hand comes down to the people of the Central Station and takes away the chosen newborns to the world hidden behind the gates of the Sanctuary. The Hero embarks on a dangerous journey through this hostile world to find a way to open the gates and bring his child back.
