Quick steps to get started
Reach the green door on each floor before the monster catches you. You have three hearts. Every floor you clear takes you one closer to the surface, and every ten floors is a safe floor with no monster on it.
The monster speeds up the longer you stay, so keep moving. Gems you collect buy hearts on the safe floors and unlock new looks between runs. Some floors lock the exit until you find the crown. Some give you a mask that will stun the next monster that touches you instead of costing you a heart.
Clear all fifty floors to escape into the garden. Endless mode unlocks after floor nine and runs forever. Can you climb the leaderboard?

What's it all about?
You wake up at the bottom of a monster's lair. Fifty floors of maze stand between you and the way out. Each floor has one exit. Find it before the monster finds you, and don't take too long, because the longer you stay the faster it moves. Four different monsters live down here and each one hunts a different way. Some chase you, some wait for you, and one walks straight through walls. On the dark floors you can't see any of them coming. You just hear the music change. Grab gems on your way out. Some doors stay locked until you find the crown. If you're carrying a mask, the next monster to touch you is stunned instead of taking a life. Clear all fifty floors to escape. Then try Endless mode, where the floors keep going and all that matters is how deep you get. Gems buy new cloaks, lanterns and masks. Nine of them can't be bought at all, and must be earned.
