🏔️ Explore a dark fantastical world where magic flows like rivers and gods walk amongst you.

👹 Test your strength and wits against troll shamans, gargoyle octopodes, and the Dire Gelatinous Cube!

🛡️ Protect the world above from the black rituals and dark denizens that lurk far beneath the surface.

Below a world of ancient magic and terrible secrets, one mage reaches into the Void with no regard as to his limits.  Factions of ghostly dwarfs, cruel frog-demons, and a surprising number of cults move against him in the labyrinthine passages above.

You need to clear a safe passage to end the workings of the mad mage, but before you can have a chance, you will have to avoid fiendish traps, solve time-travel puzzles, and close extra-dimensional portals.
