About Don't Die, Minerva!

✦ AI summary

Guide 11-year-old Minerva through a haunted mansion using a flashlight and magical stuffed animals to battle ghostly foes in this rogue-lite action RPG. Tackle randomly generated dungeons with deep loot systems and difficulty modes ranging from relaxing to brutally challenging, growing stronger with each run through earned essence.

On a dark and stormy night, 11-year-old Minerva discovers a haunted house deep in the woods and before she knows it, she is in for the fight of her life!

Don't Die, Minerva! is a rogue-lite action RPG set in a haunted house. Armed with a flashlight and a backpack full of friendly stuffed animals who are brought to life by the house's magic, Minerva must explore the mansion and defeat its ghostly inhabitants.

Along the way, Minerva meets helpful characters who can aid her on her quest. Death is nearly inevitable, but with each run you will gain valuable essence that can unlock new abilities and better loot.

With multiple levels of difficulty ranging from an easy stroll in a moonlit park to a punishing challenge only to be faced by the bravest of souls, Don't Die, Minerva! offers crisp controls, exhilarating action, spectacular visuals, and a deep stat-driven loot system.

Dungeons, loot, and enemies are all generated randomly, meaning no two runs are the same.

Scam/abandonware, don't give a single penny to these petty grifters! [quote]Don't Die, Minerva! is our 3rd Early Access title. We've learned a lot from our previous releases and know that we're ready to deliver a satisfying Early Access experience for those who want to participate.[/quote] Now this alone just adds insult to injury. What a pathetic bunch of scammers.

This game is awesome. It so underrated. True hidden gem. What I like about it? 1. The amount of different upgrades and abilities is huge. And its not just numbers, but unique abilities. 2. The gameplay is really smooth, I like every second of it. 3. Art style and sound make this dark mystical and at the same time cozy atmosphere.

Honestly, I wish I didn't buy this game. It was... ok. Maybe worth it at 75% off, but don't pay full price for it.
