How it feels

A slow, thoughtful chess-like game where card stats decide each careful move.

What players say

Players say the game offers no tutorial or manual inside the game itself, making it bewildering to learn, and pieces lack visible attack and defense values. There is no background music, no way to quit to the menu mid-game, and three mode types go unexplained. Opinions are unanimous that the game feels like an unfinished product with a price that does not match its content.
