BELOW is mixed signals, the videogame! So much enticing artistry, so many weird things, so many bizarre game design choices. It's a slow-paced, craft-survival, action-adventure roguelite with an aura of mystery and a hunger meter. WTF is going on?

ROGUE DESCENDANTS is a series where I go down my list of unplayed roguelike / roguelites and give them 1 hour of my time. Lots of judgmental first impressions and mini reviews ahead.
