An interesting game that has 2 play modes. One has you delving into the crypt in the form of a roguelite to collect rare drops and treasures, then by day you sell what you collected at your store and try to earn gold.

It's a cute concept with a whole story wrapped around the town, the danger of the dungeons, and your inexperience as an adventurer that can get a little preachy. Still the idea works but I don't know about the longevity. The loop is interesting to begin with but after a few hours the store side of things can be tedious as you have to carefully manage prices against demand and juggle sales against defending from shoplifters.

The adventure side of things is pretty standard roguelite fare as you learn to delve into ever more dangerous areas, each with their own knowledge locks that cost some suffering to learn to survive in. The challenge of the adventures is fine and I was curious to delve deeper but the reward is more shop gameplay and that ended up putting me off on the whole.

A cute gimmick but I think this one will take a certain kind of player to really vibe with both sides of the gameplay and see it through. That said it's a pretty game with some solid mechanics.
