"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!" A young boy and girl are imprisoned within a giant tower, 666 meters below the ground - the Jail. The Jail grows, enticing every form of desire from those within. As the tower rises to the surface, solve the mysteries inside to make your escape! Maidens, possessing both beauty and madness, seek to free themselves from the horrors of the impenetrable tower, Jail.

Answered from what people have written, never made up: a verdict, how much when it's a matter of degree, and the sentences that say so, quoted with their names. Reviews here first, then TMDB's reviews and the title's Wikipedia plot and reception. If nothing settles it, you can put it to the curators.
