About the game

A dark metroidvania where your shaman drum is the only weapon against the Abyss. The music of the ancients becomes your blade, and every battle is a ritual on the edge of death.

    Didn't super scratch the MV itch but soothed it. Overall a fun game regardless. For those of you that are rhythm-challenged like myself, there is a bit of a difficulty spike toward the end which is unfortunate cause I wasn't able to finish the game; the button combos became more than my feeble brain could handle.
