How it feels

A fast-paced roguelike shooter where you dodge bullets and build a deck of equipment cards while exploring a mysterious manor with a surreal story.

What players say

Players praise the clever blend of roguelike action and card-based synergies, with many noting the rainbow and crown builds as standout strategies. There is a split on difficulty: some find it well-balanced, while others say the bosses lack variety and become too easy once a build comes together.
