Explore the dungeons of an ancient castle in search of a vanished sorceress, blasting monsters, solving puzzles, and dodging deadly traps. Deep inside the castle of the Blood‑Spitting Prophet, the sorceress of Amber Valley awaits rescue.

Scavenge dynamite, shotgun shells, and plasma cells as you push through secret chambers brimming with loot, cutting down undead and giant gloomtoads who stand between you and the sorceress.

• Unlock abilities that help you explore the darker and more perilous areas of the castle.
• Fight its bosses and minions who stand between you and the sorceress of Amber Valley.

Love when a dev of one of my favorite niche gaming genres switches over to ANOTHER of my favorite niche gaming genres. Only things that is missing now is a fixed cam survival horror and a detective computer sim game!!

But yea, I enjoyed it though I got stuck after getting the gun... The overall game design reminds me of Janosik with the one huge map. The in-game map... kinda sucks. So small... would be nice to zoom in and pan. It gets a bit disorienting. But otherwise I enjoyed it

Thanks! You can press M for a much bigger map (unless that map also felt small for you?)

Well there's the mini map in the corner, and then I pressed some button to see another one. But I mean small as in the fact that it is too zoomed out, so everything in it is really small and hard to make out. That why zoom and panning options would be great

very good

Thanks!
