How it feels
a tense, tactical tower defense roguelike where you build a deck of turret cards against procedurally generated waves in a dark, abandoned computer setting.

What players say
Players praise the unique tower-defense deckbuilding loop and aesthetic but consistently warn about the extremely short campaign, often calling it a tech demo. Many mention frustrating auto-targeting, lack of mid-run saves, and balance issues where one upgrade dominates. Players split on replayability, with some finding fun synergies and others feeling they saw everything in under two hours.
