A Roguelike That Plays Out Throughout Your Day
A dungeon crawler for iPhone and Apple Watch, where the resource isn't mana or gold, it's real-world time. Movement, attacks, and waiting spend focus and narrow your view. Focus returns over hours. The maze holds still while you recover, but rest too long and it starts to hunt, even while the app is closed.

- A time-reverse can undo a fatal move, if you have a charge and your rescue window is still open
Time is the resource
Play in glances throughout your day, not one long session. Focus recovers over hours. Rest is a move, not a menu.
The maze moves while you're away
You're safe while you recover, up to about 10 hours if you left exhausted. But once you're fully rested, the maze starts taking its turns, even while the app is closed, and it can reach you before you return.
Push your luck
Act on empty focus and you'll fight half-blind and take damage. Rest too long and the danger rises. Read the moment.
Bank your second chances
Earn one time-reverse each day you play and hold up to 14. Each charge rewinds one turn on your current floor, with no per-run cap. Spend them before the run's deadline.
- Play one shared run across iPhone and Apple Watch
- Both versions preserve the same carefully limited dungeon view
- Check your focus and current dungeon from an iPhone Home Screen widget
- A Watch complication shows your focus recovering at a glance
- A nudge when you're rested and ready to dive again
- Deepest-floor leaderboard with fresh monthly runs
Rest, but don't abandon the dungeon. Take a turn within 24 hours of reaching maximum Focus (140%), even if you've cleared the floor. Opening the app, using an item, or reversing does not extend that deadline.
- Dead Signal is your new starting look
- Reach Floor 5 to unlock Ink & Ember, and Floor 10 for Pocket Crypt
