MOVE — WASD / arrows, or left-thumb joystick on touch. Your weapons fire on their own. Positioning is everything.

GEMS — slain fiends drop XP gems. Level up, pick 1 of 3 dark gifts: new weapons, upgrades, passives.

EVOLVE — max a weapon and carry its paired passive to forge an evolution.

MINIBOSSES — every 3 minutes something named comes for you. Kill it for essence and a full mend.

THE DEVIL — survive to 15:00 and the FINAL DEVIL rises. Slay it to win. Endless mode after.

ESSENCE — every run banks DARK ESSENCE. Spend it at the SHRINE on permanent power.

P / ESC pauses. Combos reward the relentless.
