An otherworldly labyrinth has appeared near a quiet town. You lead an expedition into its depths, with the goal of reaching the final floor.
Each floor is explored on a grid of numbered spaces. Search tiles for events, items, shops, hazards, secret passages, and puzzles; special abilities can reveal enemy encounters so you can choose when and where to fight. Exploring floors also earns ability points.
Prepare your party by managing equipment and abilities for exploration and combat. Battles use an Active Time Battle system, while new gear, allies, and abilities help you handle threats and venture farther into the dungeon.
Some players enjoy the game’s stripped-down focus on mapping, discovery, and planning around risks, finding satisfaction in uncovering new routes and abilities. Others appreciate its minimalist presentation and puzzles. Critical reviews often describe combat and repeated exploration as tedious, and point to punishing status effects, difficult character recovery, and the sparse story as drawbacks.
