I recommend this game so much! The gameplay, mechanics, environment, enemies, spookiness, how you can do different things, is all so nice. And it works great on steamdeck!

Honestly, I can't recommend this game enough. It has an elegant complexity beneath the simplistic presentation. It's a game that has more to it than initially meets the eye. You really can approach the game in many different ways and it's not overly challenging. The immersive sim elements are great, they aren't the most in-depth, but they do allow for many different approaches to the game. Roguelike FPS' are a genre I've been interested in for a while and this is the most approachable one I've tried. The dungeon-generation never seemed to screw anything up and the layouts were always varied and unique. Exploration is fun and rewarding as many items you might find can be immensely helpful. I liked that you could acquire items and a spell that allowed you to place barrier blocks and destroy blocks with bullets or a pickaxe. Shaping the level to avoid mazes or using keys along with trapping monsters in blocks combined with the other immersive-sim elements is really cool. Some of the item combinations and gameplay are almost metroidvania-like. This game has tons of charm and is lots of fun to jump into and learn. It's not very frustrating or particularly difficult, but it's not devoid of challenge. The new-game-plus should help those who want more of a challenge. I personally tire of overly frustrating games now that I have so much less time to game. I'll definitely be jumping into this game again sometime to get the good ending, achievement hunt (not 100%), possibly attempt ng+ and the asylum achievement. For the modest asking price, there's a lot to enjoy and plenty of replayability, even if an initial playthrough doesn't take especially long.

Completely forgot about this game for a decade, and I had a pleasant time rediscovering it. It's a nice change of pace from modern day rogue-likes, the focus is way more on careful exploration and low level decision making. It feels like a precursor to games like Barony. There's a surprising amount of drama/suspense in its gameplay, and the atmosphere feels pretty rich despite its cutesy aesthetic. Definitely recommended if you're looking for a lightweight, atmospheric dungeon crawler. Wish there was a sequel!

Gameplay is nothing special, nor is it particularly scary for an Eldritch horror game. But the levels are fun to explore. I do wish there were more weapon/gear/power up options. Worthwhile if it's on sale.

Had no choice but to beat a poor Wizard to death with a rock. But most importantly... Wizard who?. Hugs for The Librarian.
