A strategic and thoughtful exploration experience where you connect cards to navigate and survive.

What players say

Players praise the unique premise of controlling a vine-like hive mind and the dark oil-tycoon atmosphere, but split on the lack of mid-run saves at launch and a linear story that punishes replay. Some say the English translation is broken, and a few suspect development stalled.
