The countdown is not a timer in the corner. It is somewhere on the map, and you are not there yet.


Gravetoll is a gothic survivors-like where the horde never stops thickening — and the only way out is down. Farm souls while the veil holds. When it TEARS, a rift opens far across the crypt with 75 seconds on it. Reach the light and descend, or be stranded in a horde that keeps compounding. Three misses and the crypt keeps you.


HOW TO PLAY

WHAT'S IN THE CRYPT

8 foes + the Gravewarden · 16 boons · 4 playable wraiths · the Ferryman · ember-priced caskets, challenge shrines and bell altars · endless layers
