Independent Windows PC launch guide

Chained Beasts
Make the next run count.

Move as a team. Turn the arena against its fighters. Choose the healing cost you can actually manage.

Prepare your first runChoose a healing trade-off

Keep the chain and the next obstacle in the same plan.

Choose your next problem

We keep losing the early fights

Choose one side of the pillar, create an opening, use the environment and recover before attacking again.

Combat & coordination

Healing makes the next room harder

Read the actual affliction tier. Compare teammate proximity, forced spending and camera restrictions before accepting.

Recovery & run choices

A potion is a decision.

Annoying changes teammate proximity. Impulsive commits later choices. Infatuated changes the camera. A damage bonus does not erase a restriction that keeps getting you hit.
