How it feels

A tense digital tabletop session where cults clash through rituals and card-driven tactics, with a hand-drawn dark fantasy aesthetic and a fateful, multiplayer atmosphere.

What players say

Players like the Lovecraftian board-game atmosphere but are frustrated by bugs, a broken save system, and a poor tutorial. The deduction mechanic feels meaningless to some, and several reviewers mention the developer's political stance as a reason not to buy.
