From the Steam store

Deep within the stone fortress of Cinderkeep, you are a lone wizard seeking to conquer its shifting dungeon. You must fight through rooms of scattered enemies, navigate around the lava-filled Blacksmith Area, survive the spike-trapped Torture Chamber, and find your way through the sprawling Gardens. Prepare for a high-stakes boss fight in the Final Arena, where one misstep means certain death. Your only protection lies in claiming the fabled Magic Cards’ power as your own. Will you succeed in your challenge, or become yet another skeleton languishing on its walls?
