Combat System
Combat is described as reminiscent of the Souls series, requiring players to engage a wide variety of formidable enemies and bosses. Weapons are one‑handed, and shields can be equipped in the left hand, allowing mixed‑hand builds.
During fights, any enemy—including bosses—can receive status effects such as Bleed, Poison, Burn, Freeze, Shock, Choke, Shatter, Life Splash, Darkness or Light Struck, adding extra layers to each encounter.

Character Progression
All weapons are one‑handed, letting players mix swords, daggers, wands and shields across both hands. Over 50 weapons are available, each carrying its own skill set, which influences how the character performs in battle.
Advancing a character’s level unlocks additional weapons, gear and blessings. Blessings are unique items that modify builds, and permanent upgrades persist across future runs, expanding options for later playthroughs.
- Collect blessings from chests and shops to broaden your build options.
- Track which weapons you acquire as you level up to plan future runs.

Map Progression
Players traverse three randomly generated maps, each featuring unique enemies, backgrounds and random encounters. These encounters can grant distinct rewards, encouraging exploration of each area.
Throughout the maps, chests contain blessings, and a shop provides weapons, gear and additional blessings for purchase, giving players multiple ways to acquire new equipment.
- Visit the shop whenever you encounter it to see what items are available.
- Open every chest you find to discover possible blessings.

Resource Management
Health, mana and stamina can be increased by praying at statues scattered in the world. A blacksmith allows players to smelt spare gear into upgrades, providing a method to strengthen equipment between battles.
The game supports saving at any time, and saved data is synchronized via Steam Cloud, ensuring that resource decisions are retained across sessions.
- Use statues to boost the resource you feel needs the most improvement.
- Consider smelting excess gear at the blacksmith to free inventory space.
