❤ Mechanics

Players can choose between a short-ranged sword or a long-ranged bow to combat the various monsters. The controls are simple, allowing players to move, jump, and crouch. The combat focuses on learning enemy attack patterns and selecting the appropriate weapon for each situation.

❤ Level Design and Exploration

The game features six distinct stages, each with its own visual style and atmosphere. Reviewers praise the pixel art environments, describing them as stunningly detailed and evoking a sense of dread and despair. The stages, though linear in progression, offer opportunities for players to familiarize themselves with enemy placements and experiment with different strategies.

❤ Difficulty and Challenge

According to reviews, the game's difficulty is not overly punishing, as players can respawn at the start of each room upon death. The challenge lies in mastering the combat mechanics and overcoming the various enemy types, some of which are described as quite annoying. Players can adjust the difficulty between stages to suit their skill level.

❤ Replayability and Postgame Content

While the main campaign is relatively short, lasting around an hour, the game offers some replayability. Reviewers mention an "animation viewer" that unlocks after completing the game, potentially providing additional content or incentives to revisit the experience. The "full" version of the game, available on DLsite, is said to include two additional levels and unique "game over" scenes that further expand the experience.
