How it feels

Feels like a tense, slow-burn standoff where you tactically summon monstrous versions of your own anxieties to outwit an opponent who isn't even online at the same time.

What players say

Players love the creepy character designs and tactical battles, but consistently call the game pay-to-win, saying progress is painfully slow unless you spend. The gacha system is widely criticized, and many prefer playing on mobile.
