The game has an extensive script, that branches in many unexpected ways. Combat is designed to resemble classic bullet hell shooters, with the player taking the form of a bright red heart icon. The unique element of this title is that monsters will often talk to the player, conveying their current wishes and emotions (even during combat), with the player having the chance to talk to them, flee or fight them. On the journey out from the underworld, the player is tasked to solve many puzzles, meet many characters, and engage in combat encounters. The story follows a lone human who falls underground into a world filled with monsters, towns, and caves, filled with adventures.
