What is CiniCross?

This single-player game takes place in a cursed dark fantasy dungeon. Across repeatable runs, you solve procedurally generated nonogram grid puzzles ranging from 5x5 to 20x20, choose routes through each floor, and confront bosses with distinct powers. Puzzles grow more complex as you descend, with shops and campfires along the way.
