How it feels

A tense and mysterious game where you piece together a dark narrative through slow turn-based strategy and exploration.

What players say

Players are intrigued by the odd mix of go-like strategy and fighting-game combat, though opinions split on whether the rule set is genuinely fun. The AI gets tough after the tutorial, but interface issues like no mouse menu and unreadable rules frustrate some. At roughly 10 levels and 5 yuan, many consider it a fair price for a small indie experiment.
