❤ Responsive Movement and Traversal

Players can dash, jump, and use the "Dread Hand" grappling hook-like ability to quickly navigate the game's environments. This tight, responsive control scheme allows for precise exploration of the castle's many nooks and crannies, where players uncover hidden rooms, solve environmental puzzles, and collect valuable resources and equipment.

❤ Versatile and Satisfying Combat

The player's main weapon is a customizable pickaxe that can be used for both melee attacks and charged special moves. Enemies range from common fodder to formidable foes and bosses, all of which require careful timing and strategy to defeat. Mastering the combat system's rhythm of attacks and dodges is crucial to success.

❤ Intricate Crafting and Equipment

Players can collect resources to craft new weapons, boots, and amulets at designated stations. These crafted items provide valuable bonuses and effects, adding an element of customization and experimentation. The crafting system is somewhat opaque, as the specific effects of material combinations must be discovered through trial and error, creating a rewarding sense of unpredictability.

❤ Puzzle-Solving and Progression

Puzzle-solving is a core part of the experience, as players navigate the castle's many dungeons filled with environmental challenges that often require utilizing the game's various tools and abilities. Progression is linear, but revisiting previous areas to uncover missed items and secrets encourages replayability.

❤ Companion Cooperation

The player is accompanied by a cast of characters, each with unique abilities that can assist in certain areas. In some instances, players must cooperate with their companions to solve puzzles or progress, further emphasizing teamwork and camaraderie.
