Infra Arcana belongs in the roguelike conversation because it uses sanity pressure, scarce ammunition, occult artifacts, stealth, and overwhelming monsters to make progress feel like trespassing. The run structure is what matters: it asks players to build a plan under uncertainty, then live with the consequences when the run turns ugly.
