Gloomy-toned metroidvania which suffers from incoherent plotting and excessive length, but is redeemed somewhat by reasonably fun movement abilities and managing to make soulslike-inspired mechanics bearable.

I particularly enjoyed the variety in weapons and the possibility to develop the character's stats through investing in different attributes.
