Your father descended into the catacombs to kill Death and claim eternal life.
He failed, and cut you out of his will, leaving everything to his cat.
Your revenge? Succeeding where he failed.
EXPLORE
Delve into Death’s domain and become strong enough to defeat him. But be cautious: the maze shifts every time, and the Reaper's scythe is never far behind you. Keep your lantern bright and full of oil to fend off the darkness.
CATCH, THROW, AND BASH
You start every run as the fragile and fearful young poet, Samuel Durant. His cane can reflect projectiles, but it’s barely strong enough to squash a spider. Luckily, he has a talent for catching, and by grabbing items, he can either use them or throw them at his foes.
BUILD YOUR SKILLS
By collecting and assembling your prayer beads, you get stronger, more agile, and more resilient. Powerful relics synergize and transform your strategy. But the most important ability will always be your skill as a player.
SLAY YOUR PREDECESSORS
You aren’t the only seeker who has ventured into Death’s domain. Powerful Severed Souls who craved eternal life also dwell in the depths, becoming twisted by their desire. The regions they inhabit have warped to the shape of their hearts, and you’ll have to watch out for unique traps and enemies that share their realms.
