A tense, strategic survival game where every action advances time, forcing careful resource management against creeping Lovecraftian horrors.

What players say

Players praise the unique card-based tower defense and Lovecraftian atmosphere, but are split on its difficulty and developer support. Many report game-breaking bugs and an abandoned state with no patches, while others find the challenge rewarding once they master the opaque mechanics.
