The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who want slow, tense exploration of a dark, unforgiving underworld and will accept losing progress to death.: Each descent into the Depths asks you to watch your light, your supplies, and every shadow, and the dark labyrinth keeps you on edge. Tradeoff: Deaths cost a lot and the game explains little, so casual players may find it opaque and frustrating.
