The ancient book pulls her into its sealed world, a labyrinth of ever-shifting floors populated by monsters born from the memories of greedy souls. In this realm, defeat means losing all memories and returning to the start, but permanent relics allow gradual growth across endless loops. Can Shiro master the dungeon’s secrets, overcome her own desires, and find a way back home? Or will she be trapped forever, becoming another memory in the book’s cursed pages?

Player Comments of Nyacronomicon!:

A 3.5 star game, realistically.Maybe I got particularly lucky with my build, but the game is very easy (got the good end on my first run, aside a bit of savescumming over blindly running into bosses without paying attention). By the middle, I literally healed from most enemies and that makes you snowball hard.There also isn't much replay value. "Good build" in this game just means "get a scaling passive early on and then stack stats", because specialization only works on the early floors.Accounting for all of that, the decision to only have defeat scenes...is baffling. You can't get most of them without going out of your way to lose to trash mobs (or walking around on an autopilot). And the gallery unlock just doesn't feel the same, IMO, the pacing is completely ruined there.Overall, the game isn't bad, but it just doesn't have the staying power beyond a couple runs and the H-scenes feel disconnected.

Honestly, not a hard game, took a while to understand what worked, but keeping an eye on the stats and aiming for flat stats early helped get into late. In the later stage, which was like an hour in, you get the scaling equips and its gg. I even forgot about collecting CGs, the game clear gives a gallery unlock.

Pretty nice game.Roguelite dungeon crawler(? I don't know if there's a better genre to describe this). Enemies are stationary, only fighting back when you choose to engage them (though you can use 1 skill and item on them safely) and fights are automatic. Gold, potions and chests are scattered around the maps. There's also a simple stat point system that you could easily miss.It's cool at first, but once you realize the game is basically all about health management and the floors aren't procedurally/randomly generated (except enemies, kinda) it can get pretty repetitive. You'll get the hang of what to do every run and just hoping you get good artifacts so you can steamroll enemies later on.One thing that really bugs me is the fact that you can obtain and even upgrade duplicate passive skills that boost your stats (Passive HP, Passive Attack 2, etc.), but they don't stack. So you have to take note of which passives you already took lest you waste a rare chest or waste some gold on upgrades. This feels like a bug since you can't obtain duplicate active skills/spells (Judge Bolt, Wall, etc.), but who knows.Another issue I have is the fact that you can't check the effects of artifacts unless you select them and view them in your inventory. So during early runs you'll have to blindly pick artifacts and hope they aren't completely useless for your build (or in general).Art's good. I like it and there's a decent amount of CGs. But I don't like how you have to obtain the true ending to access the full gallery unlock. If you get any other endings, the full gallery unlock stays locked.Overall, definitely one of the better games here and worth trying out if it catches your eye.
