The gameplay resembles that of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past crossed with the randomly generated dungeons of a roguelike and the escalating challenge of the Dark Souls series.

For each session the player chooses one of six characters: the Warrior, Mage, Rogue, Adventurer, Spellsword, or Cultist.

The player enters a procedurally generated two-dimensional dungeon divided into several floors, each containing rooms full of enemies.

The bosses and related overarching story are the same for all characters: the tower the player explores has become cursed after its occupants unearthed certain magical artifacts.

However, each character has a unique story as well, revealed through text interludes and scripted encounters at milestones in the dungeon.
