Hold the centre. Build a kill-zone. Shape the danger you must survive.

Cornered is a stationary survival rogue-like with tower-defence DNA. You are the circle at the centre of the arena. You do not kite. You do not build mazes. You survive by shaping a deadly aura, buying the right skills, stacking powerful passives, and making smart choices about the enemies you will have to face.

As the arena fills with hostile shapes, your aura automatically tears through anything that gets too close. Every kill earns XP and gold. Level up to strengthen your run, spend gold on new skills and re-rolls, and defeat bosses to claim powerful rewards.

But power comes at a price.

After each boss, you will not only improve your own build, you will also choose an enhancement that makes future enemies even more dangerous. Every run becomes a balance between greed and survival, snowballing power and mounting pressure.

Can you hold the centre long enough to reach the Final Boss?
