The Consensus: Is It Worth Playing?

Old-school CRPG with pixel-art aesthetics and Lovecraftian horror themes set in a Viking-inspired dark fantasy world. Combines classic top-down exploration and turn-based tactical combat with heavy narrative emphasis and permadeath options.

I'm having a lot of fun exploring all of that stuff, and if the Retro look of the game doesn't bother you then there might just be a very compelling experience under here
