Explore an eerie mansion while combining equipment and experimenting with your fighting style. Curiosity about the world meets the pleasure of shaping a build.
What makes it fun
Press on while cursed?
Curse can reveal hidden paths, but too much of it drains your health. Exploring means deciding whether to stay cursed or keep the danger in check.
Rethink the fight
You can hide from or flee a tough enemy. Returning after reworking your gear is another way to make your way through the mansion.
Choose what carries over
Rituals let you carry items found in the changing mansion into the next night. What you choose to preserve shapes the gear you can build around on your next outing.
