Story
Climb out of the dark. A thousand years ago, the world above ended. The few who survived fled underground and built a society in the dark. None of us has seen the surface. None of our parents did. None of theirs. Then the deep shook. A roar from far above, deeper than any thunder. The ceilings we had trusted for a thousand years came down to find us. When the dust settled, there were six of us left. The same shaking that dropped our city cracked the old gates open. For the first time in memory, the road up is there to take. After every combat, your crew earns a choice: three cards appear, you pick one. Cards can unlock new combat abilities, layer passive buffs onto your party, or compound into synergies that define how the whole run plays out. No two climbs are alike.

Early Access launches with Zone 1, the first stretch of the...
