The description reads:

Beware! The Nightmare monster stalks you as you navigate this dungeon-crawling RPG. Stand your ground, or use traps to slow down the insatiable monsters and escape to fight another day.

You’ll fight in turn-based battles and can boost up your allies with blood transformations. If you solve the dungeons’ mysteries and satisfy the prison’s desires, you just might make it out alive…

Features

  • Blood-drenched Transformations! – Characters can transform with stronger stats and extra skills, but if they fight too much they may enter Blood Skelter Mode, where they go completely berserk!
  • Everyone’s got a Job – Strategize your dungeon battles by assigning different classes to your characters, unlocking new skills, stats, and character portraits!

Although not specifically mentioned by Idea Factory, it appears both titles will be released physically.
