About
You may enjoy this if you like dark, imaginative descent stories with weird creatures, offbeat humor, and constant danger, somewhere between Made in Abyss: Wandering Twilight and a grimy sci-fi fantasy; Not for you if surreal worlds and odd dialogue put you off.
Pros: inventive underground world; striking stop-motion style; varied, engaging adventure | Cons: harsh made-up language; bizarre creature design; often very strange
