No one who has ever set foot on the lift to Elvins cave labyrinth has returned back alive.

Only ice cold reckoning and superior physical condition give this unarmed hero a tiny chance to avert the disaster in the last minute.

If only the game weren't randomized, and the jump mechanic weren't so tacky, because this definitely could have been a favorite! Ingenuous gameplay, excellent Look down to the UI and Searching sprite and your somersault oh shoot and the minimap, and some really good sounds.
