About the game

A text-forward cultivation roguelite. Climb a tower of one thousand floors that never repeats the same climb for every new soul. Falling is tuition: keep your realm, lose your altitude, and climb again with Moye, a sword spirit who remembers every fall you take.

    AI slop game, very similar in look and gameplay as when I tried to create a game in Claude Code for the first time Very buggy and unbalanced, max HP shows inconsistently in fights, UI doesn't show "venom from lasting injuries", strength's relation to stats is unclear, block does nothing, normal fights give way more strength gains than elite fights

    The systems in the game are decent, but the writing is painfully AI.
