How it feels

A punishing turn-based space deckbuilder where every tactical decision feels precarious against an unknowable cosmic horror.

What players say

Players praise the blend of deckbuilding and hex-grid tactics, calling it a mix of Slay the Spire and Into the Breach with a stylish Lovecraftian space setting. Some feel bosses explicitly counter your build, and others note the lack of an endless mode limits replay value. Reviews split on visuals: most love the art, but a few find the screen noisy and cards flat.
