A methodical and tense deckbuilding game where you must carefully place spell tiles on a board to survive a grim pilgrimage.

What players say
Players compare it to Slay the Spire with a tetris-like block placement system but say it feels shallow and unpolished. Many report bugs and note that development seems to have stopped.
