On paper it is what Nova Drift is — punishing difficulty, procedural generation and melee combat — though the resemblance is mostly at that level. The common ground extends to 2D presentation and single-player focus. Where the two diverge is setting and game mode: magic-based combat and fantasy world.

Shelved next to Nova Drift for good reason: punishing difficulty, procedural generation and melee combat. To that it adds single-player focus and 2D presentation. They part company on setting and game mode: this one brings dark, oppressive atmosphere and horror setting.
