Description

A mystical top-down hack n' slash roguelike adventure set in a forest beyond the veil of memory, hosting the Festival of Wandering, the eternal celebration of the lost and directionless. A lone spirit awakens in the folds of the illusory forest, with nothing but an invitation and a compass in hand. Tasked with the gathering of guests for the Festival, the Wanderer sets out, hoping to gain an understanding of their own circumstances. Facing hailstorms of bullets, armed with spells and brewed weaponry, a journey of wandering and discovery awaits!.
