A dreamy, storybook roguelike where you tactically arrange rooms and build a deck to navigate a child's nightmare.

What players say
Players praise the clever puzzle-deckbuilding hybrid and polished presentation, but nearly all note the game is very short, only offering a prologue and chapter 1. Some call it frustrating or RNG-heavy, while others enjoy building crazy combos.
