WARNING: Beware of your character's intolerances. You might experience a slightly upset stomach with certain specific ingredients. The game has not to be held responsible for common symptoms like death due to common intolerances to metal, plastic, fire, poison, magic, wood, or cucumbers. If you experienced any of the symptoms, we highly recommend you to develop your Esoteric Digestion Techniques.

The game's full-fledged RPG system includes a bunch of stats, 100 levels, and an advanced system for loot and equipment.

The belief system works as character progression and subverts the rules of combat and exploration. Stay hungry, stay gullible!

"Most interactions in the game are done by throwing, so you throw keys at doors, and elderly people at monsters, and salami at everything."

Pocket Gamer
"If he believes that he can walk on lava, then he can. If he's feeling weak, he can believe that he has a second heart, and then he has one. Pretty neat if you ask me."
