How it feels

A deliberately paced, turn-based card battler where each decision carries weight in a hand-drawn dungeon.

What players say

Players love Skogdal's absurd humor and its black-metal-meets-90s-Norway style, with a soundtrack that makes even bad draws enjoyable. The deckbuilding is solid and lets you break the game with combos, though a few note the early game feels repetitive before harder modes unlock.
