About Living the Nightmare

The Faceless, a slasher killed by a would-be victim, is cast into a woodland nightmare. Reaching all six Carrion Shrines offers a possible return to life and revenge.

Hex-grid commands execute as quickly as you enter them, but you can pause to consider each move. Enemy packs take their turns together. Equipment and perks change your approach across generated biomes.
