Miriam is an orphan marked by an alchemist’s curse that is slowly crystallizing her body. To save herself and humanity, she ventures into a demon-filled castle summoned by her old friend Gebel.
Explore the castle in side-scrolling combat, fighting demons and bosses while searching for secrets and routes into new areas. As Miriam gains abilities, previously unreachable parts of the castle become accessible.
Build Miriam’s strength with weapons, equipment, and shards—abilities gained from demons that can be upgraded and combined into different playstyles. Crafting, cooking, quests, and further playable characters and modes add to the progression and replay options.
Players who enjoy the game often praise exploring its large, secret-filled castle and finding new paths as abilities open up. Reviews also frequently value the range of weapons and demon-gained shards for trying different combat builds, alongside the character progression and soundtrack. Many recent supplied reviews instead focus on complaints about an Epic Online Services update, including login prompts and trouble launching the game.
